    Thought you were going to say he confessed everything and then got better.

    I couldn’t live that way for a fortnight, let alone 50 years. 

    Always looking over your shoulder and knowing you’re living a lie would grind me down.

    I think the big thing for me would be that I couldn't put my family through the agony of not knowing.

    His family (parents, siblings) when he done a runner and disappeared after being named as the robber as opposed to the family he had when he changed his identity (wife and children)

    As MrOneLung says, it's about those he left behind. Presumably his parents went to their graves never knowing what became of their son. There' can't be many things worse in life.
