Would you leave your wife and son ?

Hello friends, give me your opinion on this. The great Buddha, founder of Buddhism, took to monastic life after he was married and had a son. One fine morning, he left them both and walked away in search of 'truth' and later on became the Buddha or the enlightened one. No doubt, he sacrificed his life for achieving something high, but don't you think he ignored his first and foremost duty of a married man and a father ? What's your opinion ?

I think family should come first and I Think he should have consider this life before having a family! There is nothing that could inspire me to abandone my family
