Chapter Seven – I Need a Hero
A boy should have a father he respects.
Someone to admire.
A man he wants to be like.
Dean looks up to John.
Hell, he idolizes him.
The boy's got a big heart.
Forgives all the times John's not there.
Rationalizes the cruel words and slights.
John's all he's got to hold on to.
Everything else stripped away.
It may not be right.
But I can't shatter that bond.
I can't tell him he's wrong.
Tell him his father's just as lost as he is.
What good would that do?
Taking away the last hope he has to cling to?
The End

All standard disclaimers apply.
Bobby always was a wise one. Able to relate to Dean and his needs. His focus on the boys first, the job second. John just got twisted up in the job too much and failed to see the harm he was causing his sons. There was more in their lives that could hurt them besides monsters...
