@miletta228: #DEANWINCHESTER From childhood, Dean was given a responsibility that went far beyond what most children are expected to handle. John taught him to protect Sam, especially when their father was away hunting. Dean learned to watch his younger brother, keep him safe, and take responsibility when something went wrong. This became a defining part of Dean's identity. He often measures his own worth by whether he has managed to protect Sam, and he can be extremely hard on himself when he fails. John's instructions helped create Dean's strong sense of responsibility, but they also placed an enormous emotional burden on a child who needed protection himself #supernatural #johnwinchester
