I was going to reply on every point, and then realised all I would be saying was "yes, THIS, EXACTLY" over and over again. So here's a blanket summary:
YES. THIS EXACTLY.
I agree with everything you said here, and I honestly don't have anything to add to it. Thank you :)
Although, I do think that John never hooked up with the Campbell's because he never knew they existed. We never found out if John ever found out about Mary's past, and though the hunting community isn't a majority, it seems big enough that John might never have run into them- and if he did, they hardly would have sat around talking about their families. But I do think agree that John might have deliberately kept the boys separated from most hunters- they really do come across as a cold and assholey bunch of people, and I do think that John wanted to foster that close-knit trust-and-depend-on-family-only thing he had going.
