I actually like the Kents in SV, overall...they never felt like real characters to me before, just symbols - even as Superman always seemed before - so I appreciate how they were humanized, and I love their devotion to their son (adopted parent-child love is a big button for me!) But yeah, Jonathan can be an incredible jerk, especially when it comes to Lex, and while he makes sense to me as a char (which is better than I can say for, er, everyone on the show these days...) it still frustrates...I prefer to write 'em AU-ish, but...
"Identity Crisis"? hmm, no, never heard of it - worth checking out? I'm intrigued! Is it Superman, or...?
I always thought the real reason for a secret identity was so the heroes weren't sued for property damage and the like (see the beginning of "The Incredibles"!) There is a certain degree that it does protect your loved ones - but not if you're keeping it from them.
--er, yep, this fic is really an essay in protracted, dialogue form! But glad you're enjoying it on the story aspect as well, and I'll be getting the end up soon-ish! ^_^
