(which is true as far as it goes, but doesn't tell the whole story) Yeah. It's like there's this weird superhero trauma triage thing, and if you have never died and you still have relatives and you don't break down sobbing in team meetings, you're probably more functional than 90% of the people you know, no matter what else is wrong with you. So there's nobody to worry about you.
Like, how Batman is ostensibly supposed to be watching out for Robin and teaching him (her) things, but Batman is so screwed up he really can't take care of Robin? Robin probably takes care of Batman more than Batman takes care of Robin, because if he didn't have a kid around to cheer him up he would just be sad all the time.
...latenightcuppa and this fic (http://archiveofourown.org/works/662726) being responsible for the fact that I relate Hawkeye/Hawkey dynamics in terms of Batman & Robin. :P
