I've seen the movie a couple times and I don't remember that scene. I don't think the father even considered suicide. Why would he?
Billy's father and older brother Tony are, or so we are meant to think, men's men: striking coal miners in Northern England, taking a stand, undaunted by violent clashes with the riot police, refusing to cross the picket line even when they are forced to chop up their piano for use as firewood. They fail to see that Billy is neither suited for, nor enjoys boxing, leaving you to wonder whether the boxing lessons are an attempt to offset Billy's increasingly apparent function in the family. He essentially fulfills his deceased mother's role around the house, taking care of his grandmother and the housework. As deeply entrenched as they are in their perceived codes of manliness (hardworking, fearless, just, strong, forceful), it's no wonder that a son and brother who trades in his boxing gloves for ballet slippers would be more than a little troubling for Dad and Tony. When Dad discovers Billy's secret, he marches to the gym and yanks his son out of the lesson.
EDIT: If you are thinking of the scene in which Tony stops his father from crossing the picket line, than I agree with the other responder here that Tony didn't want to see his father get hurt and didn't fully realize how much pride the father had to swallow to take such action in order to provide for his family.IN THE MOVIE BILLY ELLIOT was the father of billy elliot gonna kill himself, and then his son stopped him?
I think you mean the scene when the son runs over grabs his dad and says something like what you doing. Tthat only happens because the dad is crossing the picket line and the boy wants to know why and doesn't want him to go back to work but the dad has to get the money to help billy
