I agree and completely hate the contradiction. From the beginning on the show, and on the site with John's journal entries its filled with inconsistencies just slapped together more as an after thought. And I get that the show was/is the POV of the boys after this big event that shaped their lives.
For me, last nights mess I already have a fix it possibly that worked for me.... First thing was to remember that its Dean's memory from when he was 3-4 years old. Second the only reason I can see John leaving his wife/child for any length is if he discovered Mary's past as a Hunter and even possibly about Mary's deal. For me that would have rocked John's world enough for him to leave. To try and figure out how to deal with everything and especially that his wife lied to him.
With Dean at 3-4 they wouldn't have blatantly talked about it front of him, but he would get that they were fighting, the tension... *shrugs* anyhoo, just my thoughts fixing it to make it more my John ;)
