However it ends, it should be without Don as a focal point.. His "time" is fleeting. He was a relic from another time:

He became someone else.. His whole post-war life was about becoming who he thought he needed to be, and in the end he was still insignificant and unable to affect others around him.. He used women as playthings/amusements...and they surpassed him. He ignored his kids, and they grew up being their own persons without much input from him or their mother. His business ended up in the hands of others, and he turned out to be not so important there .

The 60's were ALL about passing the torch to the younger folks, and Don arrived on the scene , thinking he could control things.. that he was the young , hip guy in charge, but he was actually at the end of his era...and he was the one left in the dust.
