IMHO I think Anthony heard his mother say she got an abortion. He was standing just outside the room where Kay and Micheal were yelling at each other so he had to have heard her. As young as he was at the time I think maybe he understood what that meant as her follow up to that was to yell, "It was a son and I had it killed..." Poor kid with a cold distant father then to find out his mother killed his little brother before he was born.

No wonder that boy didn't want to kiss her!


This is an excellent observation AP. It puts everything into context, especially with Kay's "holier than thou" attitude toward Michael's penchant for having people whacked. At least Michael didn't whack any babies.


I don't think that had anything to do with Anthony's estrangement from his mother. Since the inference is that Michael obtained custody of the children, one may also infer that Michael did as so many divorced parents do, he inveiged against Kay. Anthony was simply following his father's lead.

By the way, I am amused 45 by your holier than thou characterization of someone's reaction to multiple murder. Afterall, it is only murder that Michael contenances. How dare anyone object to that!
