Now his little brother is asking him things and he’s got to figure out a way to protect Sammy while Sammy’s questions put him through the emotional wringer all over again.

Dear John Winchester: that is your job. You are the parent. 

I have no words sometimes. If you still think Dean just naturally did all this stuff on his own think about WHY HE THOUGHT HE HAD TO.  what a piece of work, John Winchester.

It’s one thing to justify John leaving Sam alone with Dean starting at the oldest age 8 (in second or third grade, btw) it’s a whole other thing to know he knew shit like this was going on and did nothing about it but feel bad for himself in his journal.

oh, he feeeeeels for Dean having to go through the wringer doing what John is too chickenshit to do.

In case your were wondering, this is a prime example of emotional parentification right here.
