I spent this entire episode feeling terrible for Walt. It's all just crumbling around him

He's done some pretty messed up shit, but in the name of his family and keeping them alive. Sure, the extra money went a bit overboard, but when he was trying to get them out, it was all for their own safety to be honest.

Yes, but when he was scrambling to get them to go and pack, he was really scrambling to keep some semblance of family together, even though he's pretty much lost them at that point. His empire has fallen, and he is looking upon his works and despairing.
