Really, Squirrelflight's life was pretty hard. I noticed that every time she followed her heart and tried to do the right thing, life just stabs her right back.
When she politely rejected Ashfur, he went all bonkers on her and refused her friendship. Squirrelflight felt very guilty for hurting him and Ashfur never forgave her. Ashfur threatened to harm her entire family, and who does Squirrelflight try to sacrifice? Herself.
"Enough, Ashfur. Your quarrel is with me. These young cats have done nothing to hurt you. Do what you like with me, but let them out of the fire." - Long Shadows, chapter 22
Squirrelflight was willing to sacrifice herself for Leafpool's kits because she loved them. Now, I understand why the Three were angry with Squirrelflight for lying, but I still think they were too harsh on her.
After the truth came out, Squirrelflight was rejected. Again. She lost Bramblestar, her Clan's trust in her, her kits, and she probably feels awful that Ashfur died because of her rejection when Hollyleaf told the truth that she killed him.
Squirrelflight didn't even want to lie to her family, but stupid Yellowfang told her she couldn't have kits to take in the Three. Squirrelflight was dragged along with her sister's problems when Leafpool shouldn't have run off with Crowfeather in the first place.
Every time Squirrelflight tries to do the right thing, life just stabs her in the back. Squirrelflight was willing to sacrifice herself, and her own happiness... all because of Leafpool's foolish mistake.
