I get the feeling the boarding school was truth, too. Might not have been straight through, though. Given the "my father's second wife" comment, among others, I think it's safe to say there's been a string of step-mothers. Some of them might have wanted to 'prove' how wonderful they were by dragging Tony home from boarding school (which was likely more stable than home ;-) to mother him. Then there would be the summers and holidays where your Tony escaped to friends' homes (smart kid). Canon!Tony, not so much, maybe.
Aw well, that's a bunny that's still firmly in its hutch, even if it is eating me out of house and home.
