This struck home for me pretty hard, since I identify with Dean so damn strongly.

Sticks with parents to help with dangerous, thankless family business, at the detriment of self? Check. Need to protect others? Check check. Lack of sense of self, because the self has been so thoroughly embattled and devalued at such a young age through repeated exposure to danger of self and others? Check.

And I totally understood where he was coming from-- you value your family above all else, because that is literally the only thing you can count on having in the world. You spent your life looking out for and saving each other, like hell if you're just going to give up when you have the tools to save them.

I don't think it was "selfish" of Dean. I don't think the concept of saving Sam entered his head through the filter of his own needs and wants. He was tasked with being the big brother, Sammy's protector. Dean would have failed his brother, his father, and his own duty in life if he had let Sam go to hell.
