I love SPN flashbacks. They use them only rarely, but always very well. I think it's been very easy to presume, based on what you had seen so far, that Dean had a great relationship with his father and Sam had a troubled one - you speculated previously that maybe he was the less favoured son. But this episode shows that, to the contrary, Sam was coddled by his father. Dean was left to take care of him, and blamed when something nearly happened to him. Dean was - what - 10 years old here? Yet John left them alone for days at a time, making everything Dean's responsibility. No wonder Dean is so screwed up.! Wanting to give Dean a hug is the default position when watching SPN!

I don't see Sam being coddled in any of the existing flashbacks, but I suppose it's easy to miss that reality when the perspective is largely Dean's. Neither boy was coddled. I do believe John likely had a better relationship/most-honest with the eldest simply because he was eldest. There are also comics and it's canon that Sam has been hit by John before ( which makes sense since Dean seems to follow much in his father's footsteps as many sons seem to do ). I feel for tiny bab Dean in this nonetheless. It's a lot for both boys, and sadly one erupts in rage while the other mostly focuses on the other until he, too, explodes when it becomes too much.
