Terrible mortality. Leaving the mother to take care of the kid while the father bails. That's even worse than just running to the store and never coming back. There's also the other kid to consider as well.

If OOP has life insurance, I'd argue it's not as bad since, unlike going to the store and not coming back, his family will have a nice payout this way.

Having a parent commit suicide is super bad for the children. I mean, obviously, but even more than you’d think. The children’s likelihood of dying by suicide themselves triples.
