Pathetic if true.

My happiest day on earth will be the day Anthony dies. I hope it hurts. I hope it’s slow, painful.

When was this?

Around his divorce I think, mid-2000s.

Oh right the stent. I do vaguely remember that being brought up like once in a weird round about way.

Didn’t work

20, why?

Great opening sentence.

Tony two stents

Tony face dents

Age.

I think there’s more to it than that. Ant never matured emotionally and struggles to operate at an emotionally adult level. He cowers and whimpers when he has to face hard truths about himself (like during Ron’s quasi intervention). I think his heart attack scared him and he’s incapable of dealing with the trauma of it. His heart attack would have been followed by a mild lecture from his doctor about how his lifestyle contributed to his heart attack. He might have had to visit with an after care specialist, usually a social worker, who would have pushed the issue harder than the doctor. He probably got some well intentioned nagging from friends and family, too. He almost died and now he’s hearing it’s his fault (which deep down he knows is true) and to fix it he has to give up the one thing he loves more than anything else. A committed alcoholic like him would probably have a panic attack at the idea of being forced to quit. He was already stressed about it and all those truths being forced on him are making it worse. He’s not in therapy learning to cope with it all, so keeps taking damage without doing any repairs. He doesn’t want to change his lifestyle, but is scared enough to know he has to do something. So he changes the subject; he says no one can talk to him about it. He focuses on the actions of others and tells himself he’d be fine if they stopped bugging him. And it would make him feel less stressed for a while, but trauma doesn’t go away on its own. Instead, it manifests in your behaviours, your sleep, your relationships, your work... He’s dealt with a lot of shit over the years. It’d be tragic if it wasn’t Ant. You know, like if it was someone of value instead of a racist pedophile.

All true. But man that insecurity is an enormity with him. It's amazing how it links everything together. His reaction to the date with Sue, the hair plugs and the spiel about follicles he tried to pass off as him being humorous, the stupid two shirt fanaticism (still no clue how that one is supposed to make sense in his head). Poolside guns. I'm sure I'm leaving out a few hundred things.

Yeah, the insecurity and low self esteem define him. That’s why I think the two shirts thing is just that he feels fat. He’s layering for protection because he’s self conscious.

Not to defend him too hard but he was a smoker before the heart attack and quit because of it. Hes been pretty open about it since this sub fucked his Twitter ass and made him humble. Mentioned he had a stent when dumbass Mike bochetti failed to explain how one worked.

he constantly say taking shots are for girls. he thinks sipping on his girly fruit drinks will prevent further damage

he also has permanent soy sauce hair

I hope he doesn’t die right away but ends up a paraplegic. Ideally, he’ll be helpless enough that he can’t stop Joey, Carol, Missy and Keith from fighting over the crumbs right front of his effeminate little nose but too weak to do anything about it. His last few days he’ll stink worse and worse as nobody wants to change his dirty diapers when there’s still copper piping to rip outta the McMansion.

In other words, I hope his cruel inhumanity toward his mother is paid back in kind by the people he’s enabled through his shitty, meaningless life. I have a good feeling I’ll really get to see this.
