okay!
so far in skimming the essays in "In the Hunt" I have learned that nothing
is really John Winchester's fault, that Dean's self-sacrifice is inherent to
his personality (and heroic! let's not forget heroic!), and that I am going
to have to write a Family Dysfunction 101 post.
in the meantime, google "parentification" for me, okay? Here's a hint, from
a journal abstract:
"Parentification refers to children or adolescents assuming adult roles
before they are emotionally or developmentally ready to manage those roles
successfully.... Adult role-taking predicted more internalized emotional
distress; parental role-taking predicted externalized problem behaviors:
sexual behavior, alcohol and marijuana use, and conduct problems."
Here's another source that you may be able to skim via googlebooks: Lost
childhoods: the plight of the parentified child By Gregory J. Jurkovic
Maybe I'll write an entire series! I could write a novel alone on Dean and
Parentification.
Sorry. Buttons! I has them!
