For me, I think the big thing going on with Mary is that she needs to adjust to the new world, and Dean and Sam are trying to do so much for her that they're making it impossible. It wasn't that her hunting skills were better than Sam and Dean's so much as they were trying to protect her so much that they were making mistakes too. They're trying so hard to do everything for her and make everything okay that she can't breathe and she can't find her footing. And I wish she could have expressed that instead of skipping out, because I think the script and the actress did a great job of communicating it non-verbally, but since she's a recurring but not full cast member, it was necessary to have a reason for her to leave since she's not contracted for every episode.
Is it stupid that she left without a car or money? Quite possibly. But she was raised a hunter, she's got to have some baseline survival skills. I like to imagine that she's the one who taught John how to hustle pool.
That said, I really think Amara was kind of a dick for leaving her memories of Heaven intact like some kind of cruel trick. Or maybe she's just a Buffy fan.
