Yes, Robert J. Oppenheimer faced several hardships in his life. He endured significant professional opposition and criticism due to his left-wing political views and associations during the McCarthy era. Additionally, he struggled with mental health issues, including depression, which he sought therapy for and which impacted his work at times.
He had 2, one boy and one girl.

I am become Shiva, destroyer of worlds. (sic)
One reason the scientific community doubted him was because he wasn't able to come up with an explanation for how the continents were moving, & where the force to move them was coming from.
This Museum is under the custodianship of the Physics Department.
He won the Fermi Award for his work on post war nuclear policies
he was afraid about killing so many people
Not really. A very large team called the Manhattan Project, built the first atomic bombs. Oppenheimer was the civilian head of the team. General Leslie Groves was the military head of the project. Several hundred scientists and technicians worked on the project. The original idea of the bomb came from Leo Szliard (sp).

The bomb was not made in 1939. It was made in 1945 at the end of WW2. Oppenheimer did not make the bomb, a very large group of scientists and technicians made the bomb. Oppenheimer was the civilian head of the group. That is analogous to saying that a single person invented the rocket that took men to the moon.
There are several best summarized by, I am become death, The Shatterer of Worlds.
[Quoting from the 2,000-year-old Bhagavad Gita of India at the instant the first test atomic device exploded.]
Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project engineers test the bomb in the desert of New Mexico. It was an area called Trinity. It was near Alamogordo. Some of the city people could see the bomb mushroom a hundred miles away. Oppenheimer was disturbed by what he saw when Gadget was dropped.
Robert Oppenheimer was the chief scientist of the US development of atomic weapons. Thousands of people worked on the bomb in various capacities
He reportedly quoted the Bhagavad Gita, specifically the line "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
After witnessing the test explosion of an A. bomb it has been reported that Oppenheimer said 'I am become Shiva, destroyer of worlds."
