Re: OP - Further Examples

[tabaqui]

Oh, he definitely loved the boys, and where he was coming from was a place of absolute love and devotion to his family. But unfortunately, he was a *frightened* man. Terrified by the secrets he'd discovered, the hidden world, and his own family's place in it.

And i think fear makes you do things that can be pretty awful. He admitted to Dean, right before his deal, how he's put too much pressure on him as a little boy, leaned on his pre-teen son to bolster him up, pull him back from the dark places he went.

I think he *saw* his failings as a father - obsession, dictatorialness, inflexibility - but was helpless to counteract them in the face of his very real fear, and the helpless feeling of being one man standing between the world of monsters and his children.

The 'not a good marriage' thing always made sense to me, since we found out that the angels/god/cupids *made* John and Mary fall in love, because that fulfilled the 'prophecy' of the end times. So friction and perhaps some miss-matching (and John being a Vietnam survivor, and probably having some PTSD, and Mary being an ex-hunter, under the incredible strain of hiding all that, and not telling John) was inevitable.

But i think they loved each other, and did they best they could. Imagine Mary knowing how her father died, and how she got John back, and living with that, in secret, for years....

In short - ha! - I think John was pretty awesome, too, but to ignore the non-awesome stuff cheats him of depth of character (in my mind).

I do rather love the Castiel of his first season, how powerful, and how torn, he was. I do miss that.
