Except for the fact that he is no longer able to fight. It seems to me like he believes family love always comes first. The reason why I believe he thinks that way is even though they are going through very bad times between him losing his job for a short time, his wife not working because she is taking care of the children, and the Great Depression he still does not show that it is affecting him but it really is deep down.
