And he's got these huge control issues that won't quite let him reach this end point. Because that would mean admitting he can never have control, and being able to live with that.
This is me going: YES THAT. EXACTLY. That's who Tony is to me, at his core, a guy who can't admit there are somethings he can't control, that there are somethings that are just not fair, that sometimes you can lose both your parents at once and there was nothing you could have done about it, that there are things, simply, beyond your grasp.
Being a rich child prodigy, he was given everything he could have ever wanted, and on the surface it feels like control, but it's also saps it, to a degree. Being given everything you've ever wanted means you never had to work for it either, that means you always have to prove yourself worthy of it, and that's tiring, keeping that up.
