And Hercules did not kill all of his family. Hera took control of his mind and made him do that. And he was punished for it while she got off free. That is one reason he is still so pissed about it thousands of years later.

So I'm not sure how he could move forward in his life. He cannot forget what happened and Zeus stuck him on an island where he has nothing to do. He could defy Zeus and quit his job, but there is no telling how Zeus would take that. And any attempt to bring Hera to justice would end in failure. Actually, in the myth , Hercules took the quests himself to cleanse his spirit. No one blamed him for it except him.
