Dress Like Tate Langdon American Horror Story
Growing up, Tate was misled by Constance to believe that his father left him for another woman. But in reality, his mother murdered him and made up this lie to cover it up. This caused Tate to be trapped in his mother's controlling and perfectionist ways, always favored as the only good-looking child among her three deformed offspring. Although Constance would make excuses for Tate, calling him "sensitive", she'd turn abusive when he couldn't meet her high expectations, causing Tate to resent her. The resentment only grew when Tate discovered that his brother Beauregard was kept in the attic like an animal, and murdered by Larry Harvey at Constance's request, in exchange for her sexual favors. Despite trying to protect his siblings, their fate was sealed, and Tate blamed his mother for ruining everyone he loved, causing a permanent divide between them. With no positive influence in his life, Tate saw the ghost of Nora Montgomery as a substitute mother, who only remembered him when he reminded her, constantly asking about her lost biological child.
