He did go through a lot in the original and became a bit of a prick in the sequel, I can understand it, I also forgive it since he became his old self again toward the end.

I found the end a tad confusing in what it was trying to symbolise.

Which ending did you have? I think the endings both had different meanings even though they're both the same exact scenes. In the theatrical version I think it was supposed to show that Laurie's snapped and she's as crazy as Michael now, haunted by a vision of their mother. In the Director's Cut I interpreted it as symbolizing Laurie's afterlife where she's together with her family because of Deborah mentioning the line about going home. I'm not sure why Michael wasn't in the shot in this case, though I assume it's because Zombie knew that wouldn't be the ending and didn't bother to shoot it.
As for the white horse, the introduction says "WHITE HORSE- linked to instinct, purity and drive for the physical body to release powerful and emotional forces, like rage with ensuing chaos and destruction." I think that's what was for Michael as well as Laurie in the theatrical version, but for Laurie in the Director's Cut ending I think it symbolized death, as Death, the fourth horseman rides a pale horse.
