Tommy doesn't cope, he bottles it, gift wraps it, and boxes it up. This includes TRAUMA, EMOTIONS, QUESTIONS, all manner of things one can be afraid to deal with or ask. The only coping mechanism he has is rebellion, the act, or behavior directly disobeying requests, orders, and all other variety of commands. He does this as a subconscious coping mechanism as his body recognizes he has trauma and does the opposite of what got him the trauma. When a crate of bottles break, back come the issues included in the crate.
