The Nuclear Family

[Harpy Eagle]

After my divorce we were still 'related' but no longer a family. My daughter once called me "the dad who was never there". My son had anger issues with me for years, as I was blamed for the divorce. Also, when the non-custodial parent loses their authority over the kids there is no family.

after my parents divorce we were still a family minus our father, to this day (some 45 plus years) that has not changed

I think when the kids are grown and gone it's called an extended family, not a nuke family.

Still a family, we do not need the extra labels.
