    as far as i saw it at least, a lot of his issues he had were to do with feelings of inadequacy, and not being able to fulfil the role of the manly provider for the family weighed on him for sure. i don't want to play the armchair psychologist too much, and as many men of his generation he never spoke about his feelings directly, there was likely other factors too and you probably can't blame all of it on capitalism, but the dissolution undeniably was a major factor yeah
