Was Allie Fox responsible for the breakdown of his family in The Mosquito Coast?

I think that Allie does bear some blame for the breakdown
of his family.  In the end, he represents an end that is not much different than
American society, itself.  The desire for perfection invariably ends up leading to a
destructive end.  Allie believes that the American society driven by mass consumption is
one where it has destroyed all that it has touched.  In the same way, Allie's pursuit of
utopia and the steps he takes in order to preserve it, including murder, help to drive
his family away from him.  While Allie might be driving towards a perfect society for
the Indian tribe and his own sense of self, he does little to fully understand the
emotional needs of his family and alienates them in the process of his pursuit of
supposed perfection.  The retreat deeper into the jungle with his family reflects a
further breakdown of the family, the rupturing of bonds that used to be of loyalty and
respect and have become replaced with fear and
mistrust:

Forced to leave his now desecrated
paradise, Allie finds that his iron-fisted control over his family is slipping. He seeks
to regain it by bullying Charlie and his younger brother Jerry even more fiercely than
before. He forces the family to head even further into the heart of the jungle's
darkness, an outward sign of his own distorted inner
world.
