I don't want to get into a debate into who is the better parent between to two because ultimately, I think both Betty and Don have had their hands in terms of how damaged Sally is at this point. However, I think most viewers will have a more nuanced view on Don as a whole since he is the protagonist for the show, for better or for worse.
