IMO we can't make a judgement like that, I don't think.
Who doesn't have a relative that they have to step away from...because they love them but can't be part of what they are into?
Annie disagreed with Joe's abusive parenting, and she had good reason to be passionate about appropriate parenting AND expect that Joe agreed with her in principle but not behavior. Would she have been a better person to keep fighting with him?
(BTW, people are complicated. I think it is clear that both Lori and Joe were abusive parents, even if the details of the abuse are not ironed out. Who cares which detail is proven? Just because one detail isn't proven doesn't erase the abuse.)
