In India if someone blames another person for their suicide or suicide attempt the other person is punished. In the United States we give the suicidal person resources and instill in them agency, self-determination, and encourage them to grow up and become emotionally mature.

Unhealthy, normal parents don't kill themselves within a couple weeks of their 30 year old kid going missing. Other things were going on; you're beyond ignorant of the situation, and your immaturity is harmful to yourself and your family members without you being aware.
