I think hank has it right that Walt has destroyed everyone's life, but the one guy he has actually done some good for is Jesse.

I agree with much of the latter portion here... but the underlined is simply untrue. There is legitimate anguish and remorse for what happened with the shot kid and Jesse's girlfriend.
He did give Jesse his money owed to him when he didn't have to... he clearly did love his children.. though was grotesquely selfish about staying in the business without deep consideration that it put them at risk.
Walt is what he is... self-preservation first.. and yeah, he gets over and beyond the bad stuff rather quickly. When his wife stopped loving him... wishing for him to die.. he did let Heisenburg take over too much... and his greed for power really became his undoing.
