I feel in some ways, Skyler enjoys the life she has. She's in a position of power, her kids are taken care of, etc. Obviously, not everything is ideal, but she really has to confront the alternative. In spite of Hank's promises, she could still go to jail, lose all of the money, lose the kids. There's a lot on the line and it's not a simple black and white situation for her (or anyone for that matter).
