So why blame Yoko? Sounds to me like John's the one who ignored his own son, but you're heaping all the blame on Yoko. You say that "because of Yoko" John didn't bother with Julian, but what about when John and Yoko separated in the 70s? Did John go running to Julian then? I think not. He's just as guilty as her. But he's dead.

Do some reading and you'll discover that Yoko never encouraged John to spend time with Julian after they got married. Yoko treated Julian like shit after John died. On Julian's first visit to Yoko after John died, she told him he could pick one of John's guitars to keep. Julian was no dummy. He wanted John's Rickenbacker (the one he played on Sullivan and at Shea). That's the only one he wanted. Yoko said, "No, not that one. That goes to Sean." On the other hand, May Pang DID get John to reunite with Sean more often during his separation...
