He’s not deciding not to work. He figures that since this job thing isn’t really working out, his family is better off without him while he tries to sort it out. Of course he’ll tell himself that as soon as he has a job that can support his family he’ll come back… it just doesn’t end up happening. I’m not making this up- I’ve heard it from families where this is what happened. As a single parent home they were eligible for enough government aid to make it, whereas when the father was in the picture they couldn’t afford clothing.
