IMO her reactions to Walter's actions throughout the series aren't even that far fetched. I understand why people hate on Skyler but given the situation she found herself in I'd like to see anyone else do better.
The way I saw it was this: It's sort of like Skyler finding out that her partner has been cheating on her, but her husband wasn't sleeping with anyone else. Instead he fell in love with power, and would do anything to attain it, including sacrificing his family. He loved the power he held more than he loved anything or anyone else. She was just another casualty to his lust for power. By the time he figured out that money and power won't keep your bed warm at night, she was far beyond his reach and didn't want anything to do with him. It's tragic.
It’s really those vitriolic fans telling on themselves. Sure if Skylar had her way, Walter wouldn’t have been doing bad things and the show would end. Just like Walter, they want to be bad even when shown their choice is bad.
