watch your parents be murdered in front of you

Choosing to take innocent lives and traumatize children is an active harm you cause; watching your own parents die is devastating but leaves your hands clean.
The grief of losing your parents is profound yet your conscience stays intact; being the one who kills is a burden that cannot be undone.

murder the parents of another family in front of their children

Your own parents survive, and choosing who bears a loss that someone must suffer gives you agency in an otherwise helpless situation.
The targets need not be innocent; framing the choice as removing already-harmful individuals makes the act defensible on its own terms.
