New theory is that Sam ran over the dog because he was trying to commit suicide, and him meeting Amelia was why he changed so much (clearing his mind off suicide)

Anyway, back on topic--

I think the real gripe people (myself included) have with Sam right now is not because he tried a life of normalcy, but because (like the wiki contributor said) he hasn't really shown enough grief over what happened to his brother. The audience get his freaking flashbacks (most of which honestly do not have great impact, btw) but Dean doesn't. Dean had no inkling about what the hell happened to Sam other than Sam thinking Dean was dead. Sam always had to jump to Amelia's defense instead of carefully explaining what happened.

Also, Sam had EVERY right for an 'apple pie life'. Why should that mean (if he really thought there was no way to save Dean) he should abandon Kevin to Crowley just like that? Why did he not even try to contact demons or angels to know if Dean was in hell or heaven? Heck, he did that in the interim of S3-S4. And being the smart one that he is, he should have even thought of Purgatory as it has been the highlight for two years, not to mention he knew of at least three instances Purgatory was opened from earth. So in all honesty, he deserves the apple pie life if anf only if he really tried to even lift a finger trying to find Dean or Kevin.
