As a father of a young child, don't do it. I've had some very low points in my life, including when my kid was a baby.

You need to be there for him and give him life lessons and memories of his father even if you are gone once he's grown. Don't rob him of these things. They will live on through him and he will know his Dad was one tough SOB. You need to realize if you were to do something like that, it affects your bloodline. What you do will influence his life choices and even his future family and so on. Suicide can create all kinds of problems including developing mental illnesses for generations to come...
