My brain's slowly turning to mush thanks to a weekend with my parents and a two hour train journey home, so:

Though I wonder what effect it would have had on his relationship with his father...earlier estrangement, maybe?

I don't know. Because, I mean, clearly his father was still around more when John was getting married, which I assume happened some time after he joined the AF, and then things went downhill more when the divorce happened. I don't think they'd ever have been close, because eventually Patrick would probably have figured out what it meant that John never brought a girl home and I can't imagine him being any good at dealing with his mostly-gay son. But maybe it would have been this thing that they just never spoke of, and the estrangement wouldn't have happened.

Plus, possibly there would have been less pressure on the relationship because John had Cam's family as well-like, eventually he would have drifted out of his father's life because he didn't need to keep pushing for a better relationship because he had others that were better.
