"At least they could have gotton themselves cereal, how could he justify leaving the baby even if he thought his wife wasn't dangerous."

Right. Can you imagine what it would be like if he suddenly realizes that he is partly responsible due to his lack of caring or lack of attention for the murder of his five children? I cannot fathom what I would feel if I were in his shoes. How does one deal with that? He has to blame everyone I guess otherwise his choice about whether to keep living or not is pretty clear.
