He cheated on her, yes, but their daughter left with him in the end. His wife had turned into her mother as a bitter, vicious take no prisoners harrigan. I doubt that started with his affair.
I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else -

They weren't abandoning Barb, never to see her again. It was the day following the daughter's late night pot-scapade. Her father was taking her back to her life, away from all the dysfunction of The Plains.
Are you implying it was Barb's fault her husband cheated on her with a younger woman? -

we never find out why
It's all in the script. Barb suggested that Bill was having his
fifth puberty
. We know that he had lost a lot of weight since at least 2 people commented upon it. Barb said he was dyeing his hair. Bill told Barb that she is
a pain in the ass

I agree, OP, that they are not strong. If they were, they would overcome their childhoods and be decent people. Barbara is very much like her mother - it isn't all background and pills - some of that is actual personality and Barbara inherited it.
