Abandonment
Abandoned by his father when he was ten years old, John is guarded: He doesn't let anyone in, and he doesn't allow himself to get emotional ever. Enter Marisol. She's just as guarded as he is, but she's never been abandoned by anyone—that is, until she feels deserted by John. Hard Love looks at the aftermath of abandonment, at the baggage people carry after they're left behind. For John, he's got an awful lot of issues to deal with since he's never resolved his anger at his dad, or his feelings toward his mom as a result. As for Marisol? Well, let's say she's a work in progress.
John's parents abandoned him, but he doesn't ever give them credit for sticking around when they could have left completely.
Part of why Marisol heads off for New York has to do with her mom, but another part of it has to do with healing from the betrayal she feels from John.
