What the other person said.

It was that Dean was only 10. And then he got really fucking mad this his ten-year-old son couldn't do much to protect his little brother because he refused to give up his sons to a healthy home environment and instead dragged them along to make them into child soldiers, basically. Because all that mattered was revenge and logically, they'd be safer AWAY FROM HIM where he wouldn't be painting targets on their backs.

And I can't help but notice that if a woman does the whole "leaves ten-year-old child to care for six-year-old child for days on end for whatever reason," she's condemned. But heaven forbid we call out a male character on the same thing.

Yes, I like that they showed John Winchester as flawed and damaged, but holy hell, did he ever manage to damage his sons in the process. I think he can be somewhat sympathetic because of what happened to him, but it still doesn't excuse all the things he did wrong. The fact that Dean was still so traumatized by that years later, and that he perceived his dad as sending them on that hunt BECAUSE Dean had screwed it up when he was 10 - it's hard to look at John Winchester as not emotionally abusive at least, whether John intended to be so or not.
