I agree, I think Dr John is supposed to be a psychiatrist. I think too it could be one of those relationships that is perpetually breaking up (we all know those ones), this is due to the 'we keep on trying'. The back of the bar could be a possible battle with alcoholism or of course some other drugs and hook-ups with anyone.
I find it interesting that he rejects his mother but asks his father to put his head on his shoulder and tells his dad what his mum told him. Possibly a realisation and backlash to his mothers didactic musings but I really have no idea on that one maybe his dad can relate better.
Trying to wrap my head around this part too:
'You say I'm a big heartbreaker
But, Doctor, I've never hurt ya
Isn't it obvious?'
This may support the notion that Dr John is his drugs too, he doesn't hurt the drugs but is seeking solace in them and is possibly mad that they can't (and won't) give him all the answers.
