Yes, I figured as such. :) For SPN I don't mind slash between fictional characters (RPS is something I'm still not entirely comfortable with). I can see where people get the slash context from the Show and I find it really interesting to read about WHY and HOW and WHEN that crops up. I guess I find reading about why slash exists more interesting that the slash itself. But on the few occasions I do read SPN fic I usually gravitate toward Gen, Het, or non-incestuous wee!chester fic unless someone on my flist writes or shoves a highly recommended Sam/Dean fic under my nose.
They were like this from day one
That is really unfortunate. Mostly because your family has to deal with other people's poor parenting, but also because those children have been taught to be bullies and that it's acceptable to treat other people in such a disrespectful manner. You have to wonder how far they're not going to get in life with attitudes like that. Karma will come back to kick that family in the butt (parents and children), believe me. All your family can do is what you're doing: looking out for Small and teaching her how to deal with less than perfect people/situations.
And...this got longer than I expected, sorry!
Ah, no apologies. Life has a way of making us ramble about important things. :)
