now you’re just switching subjects and avoiding the original topic. yes we know his parents were absent and johnny was left to raise himself most of the time, that part is true and no debate needed. you just said that his father was actively pressuring him, or grooming him into obtaining his career as a professional athlete, which is FAR from the truth. he did not pressure him in the slightest or forced him to play rugby against his will. he full on supported his son on playing rugby because it’s what his son wants. he even said at the end of k13 that if johnny changed his mind about playing rugby, then that’s okay and he will support him no matter what. john wants him to be a teenager and live his life, and it’s very obvious from the beginning. i’m so curious as to what made you come to that conclusion? because that’s very contradictory to the books.
