Nah it's not. I can see how someone would want to normalise such a shitty event to deal with it but the fathers I know and myself have been much much more involved and supportive than our fathers were

This. Everyone sees themselves as the standard, the "normal". Even if they are far, far away from "normal".

Yup, if they married and had a child with a man like this, you can't really expect the people they surround themselves with to be vastly different. So they'd think it's normal to be like this.

Y'all. SHE NEVER SAID IT WAS NORMAL. It is common. If there are enough people like this that it's easy to surround yourself with only people with the same experience, then it is common. That doesn't make it normal.
