Anthony is his only son. Anthony confided in his mum because he was getting bullied about his sexuality at the day placement he goes to as he has some learning difficulties. He wanted some help in managing this as he has already spoken to his care worker at the day centre, but nothing has changed. He has always found his mum to be much more supportive than his dad.
