Don't cut your life short because of this situation. It's very very painful, but there are ways to work it out. I would suggest you leave your wife. If she causes you so much pain that you want to cut your life short, the two of you shouldn't be together. Go back to your family, and try to find a solution together. Suicide is the coward's way out. Man up, and fight your problems, don't chicken out and kill yourself. Before you know it, this will be a thing of the past and life will be great again. Trust me, I've wanted to kill myself many many times. It's a tough situation, but it's not worth your life. Give it the chance, and find out for yourself how wonderful life can be if only you give it the chance. You have so much strength in you, so use it!

Firstly, you should not kill yourself. Even though things seems dark now, things have a way of working themselves out and getting better. So that should not be an option. You will come across many difficulties in life: the cowards way out is to run, but the proper thing to do is to face them head on. Nothing is worth dying over, as you can not turn back the clock, and you will hurt many, many people in the process.
What you need to do, is to speak to your wife. You are not unreasonable in your demands. You care for this child, and feel the need to look after your elderly parents. This is very admirable. She knew you situation before you got married, and so she cannot complain now.
Speak to her, and explain your situation. Tell her how you feel. If she cannot accept it, then it may be time to take a short break. But if she is pressuring you and making you feel like this so early on in the marriage, there is little hope for the future. It may be best to seperate, or get a divorce if verbal communication does not work.
So in short: speak to your wife. If she cannot accept what you say, it may be time to think about the future of the marriage. You should not be forced into doing anything you do not want to, but that does not mean you should take your life. Your life is a very valuable thing, and once it's gone, it's gone.
