This is not about the money, paid or still owed or in dispute, nor is it about the relationship with the woman who bore his child -- that obviously ended years ago. It is about the lack of a relationship between the Mr. Johnson and his daughter. Evidently, he has absolutely no concept of his responsibility for being a father except the $$$ since he has seen her ONLY ONCE since she was very young. For that I cut him no slack. Jerk.

And he left Seattle I hear because (in part) he felt the Mariners front office didn't give him adequate sympathy when his father died. Gee, he certainly has a good grasp on family relationships and what is important in life, eh? Jerk.

If it's all about the relationship, why do they want money for a car and college, especially since the girl doesn't want anything to do with him? Ever think the threat to go public with the story was a pressure tactic to get Johnson to cough up MORE money, and that it backfired when he threw them a curve and went public by seeking the child care that wasn't used for child care? It's ALWAYS about the money.
