He didn’t blame her – if he’d had a sister like that ...
I came across this
sentence written by a native English speaker.
He didn’t blame her – if he’d had a sister like that ...
I just thought it should be "wouldn't" at the "didn't".
Is this kinda a common mistake or the speaker was sure enough that
he wouldn't do it that he said "didn't" instead of "wouldn't"?
Thank you!

As I read it, the first part of the sentence is just a statement of past fact and not part of the conditional bit which follows. Presumably the person continued with the conditional part of the sentence with a 'would/would have' type construction.
e.g. "If he'd had a sister like that, he WOULD HAVE ...."

It's correct.
"I wouldn't blame you if you did that" means the person hasn't done the action yet, they are thinking about it.
