I have to admit I was pissed at the last epiosde when Dean basically blamed John for everything in the world. I know John could be a shitty father in making wrong decisions some times but I really felt that was unfair. John did not LET Mary die and he also didn't force Dean to watch out for Sam. Yes he stressed it a good few times but you've quoted the exact words there, 'Dad didn't even have to tell me' it irked this last episode it irked.
End of the day John told Dean he was proud of him and DIED for him, forsaking the mission he'd waged for over twenty years for his son. How there's any doubt from Dean that he didn't care about him is beyond me. Did John make questionable decisions, hell yes, did he put too much on Dean at times, sure he did, but he loved his son and the show was out of order for that scene I felt. I bristled for John.
