John had a tumultuous childhood. His father and mother split up when he was 5 and his father went off to New Zealand and didn't appear in John's life again until John was a famous Beatle some 17 years later. John's mother Julia had taken up with a man named Dykins that John didn't care for and there wasn't much money or room in their crowded home since the birth of John's two half-sisters so John was sent to live with his Aunt Mimi who raised him until he moved out after he became a Beatle and was married.
Mimi loved John but she was a stern, hard woman and was dead set against John's being a Rock star and made it clear. However, she did purchase him an Electric Guitar in his teen years. It was John's mother Julia though that taught him to play the Banjo and was supportive of John's dreams.
All in all John spent some lonely years being put aside for his mother's new children and his father not being in contact until John had made it big.
