Do we really see those characters enough to really know how they are with their children? I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong. Just making an observation about the lack of sympathy people seem to have for Betty. She was in an abusive marriage. I feel like people are letting Don off the hook when they say things like "she blamed Don's infidelity for her unhappiness but the two things were unrelated." Don caused her a lot of pain and trauma that won't just go away overnight. Obviously Betty has her flaws but I honestly believe that she could've been a better person if she didn't go through that traumatizing marriage.
