I love the idea of John and his father and brother having a good relationship, I just have a really hard time imagining it if he's with Cam. I can see the big fight and serious estrangement never happening, because John doesn't have that need to push against his father to get any kind of reaction, because he has Cam's family instead, who love him a lot, and so they drift apart rather than having a serious fight. Trouble is, we only really know John's dad through the very little John says about him, and given that my sister and I have wildly divergent views of what our father's like, it's probably debatable how accurate that is, and maybe he actually would have got along fine with Cam's parents and everything would have been ok. Which, actually, I would love to see someone write *well*.
