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.

Idk, I’m married to a pretty stellar person. I’ve always had relationships where respect and joint happiness came first (I’ve had duds, ofc) but a lot of my friends have relationships that I would absolutely never ever tolerate a fraction of the bs from.

We all talk intimately about issues and successes… hasn’t change them being in shitty relationships.
