* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Averted. It's made repeatedly clear throughout the series that no one else truly matters to John, not even his own children (his daughter Emily revealed in real life that she last spoke to him she was thirteen), and he will abandon or betray anyone if he has to. [[spoiler: When overcome with guilt about killing him and feeling she took him away from his kids and sister, John's sister Denise reassures Terra that John had blood relatives but no real family and that was entirely his own doing and Denise doesn't mourn John at all or hold any anger towards Terra for what she did, only being happy that she is okay.]]

* ParentalAbandonment: John had two daughters with his ex-wife Tonia but never mentions them nor is he implied to have made any effort to keep in touch with them or care about them (his daughter Emily said the last time she spoke to him was when she was thirteen although he would lie to Debra about being close with them and even use photos from Emily's social media profiles to maintain the illusion). Though given what a toxic, abusive presence John is, he was unintentionally doing them a favor.
