Hanekawa's family issues is one of the few cases when I think "it would be so simple to solve if only Bakemonogatari didn't happen".
Or in other words, Araragi would have banished the cat forever if only he had started dating Hanekawa.
Hanekawa needed a family she doesn't have. She hanged on to the flawed and abusive parents because that's all she had got. If she had ended up with Araragi, she would have gained a family legitimately.
But in the end, it is not meant to be. Hitagi struck first.
