Dean made the point about Sam not calling more than once - it comes up against in Bugs. "It's a two way street." Honestly, I think all three carry responsibility for the Stanford estrangement, each with his own personal issues feeding into a very messy situation.
I don't, however, think that that estrangement really has any bearing on how Sam reacts to his psychic abilities as they develop or to how he expects his family, Dean, to react. Not least because those psychic abilities are not a 'natural talent' and Sam never regards them as such. He regards them with massive fear and apprehension, is terrified of what they say about him, and expects Dean to react in the same way. When what worries Dean about Sam's abilities is what they mean for him, not what they say about him.
