Hardly, Sally and Ted definitely got it way worse. And Megan gave just as good as she got. She is an awful person.
How did Sally and Ted get it worse? Sally was accidentally exposed to something awful, and Ted threw all sorts of tantrums because Don was basically just not engaging him at work. He actively cheated on Megan, and even talked about it with his mistress. Accidents and ignorance < malice, imo.
Megan's father didn't turn her bitter or make her hate the kids. She even had a scene at the end where she admitted it. Bro, she wore a mask to nail Don, much like the masks all of the other characters wear on this show. When you pull it off Megan is a totally different person than when we met her.
I don't agree with this. He comes home and randomly says "let's drop everything here and move to California, even though you've got a great job and are actively living your dream of acting in a successful TV show." Don said he needed the move to California, that he couldn't go on like he had been in NYC. She agreed to the move out of concern for him and his well-being.
I think that was the intent of the story, that we were supposed to see in hindsight how drastically she changed and question whether she was ever real or if this is the true Megan. I come down on the latter, I think she liked Don, maybe loved him who knows, but she saw an opportunity and she took it. And kept taking, and now that things changed and she doesn't get to take, she's leaving.
