Thomas was a miracle baby born to parents already in their 40s who had tried unsuccessfully for many years to have children. He knows all this because his mother tells this story to everyone she meets. After he was born she quit her job because she couldn't bare to trust anyone else with her precious Tommy. When it came time for school she decided to homeschool rather than "risk" him in public school. To be fair she was an excellent teacher and Tom (he hates being called Tommy) excelled academically. He even had plenty of extracuricullars but his mother attended every practice session and micromanaged him relentlessly. He has practically never hung out alone with anyone his own age that wasnt a relative.
Where is his dad in all this? Dad is always working as a bigshot lawyer. Their relationship is strained. Tom thinks his father must secret resent him for "turning" his mom into helicopter parent.
Tom has two big secrets. One, he is pretty sure he's bisexual. Two, he purposefuly tanked every application that would have allowed him to live at home during college.
