A nuclear family is just parents and children, An extended family is a wider network including grandparents, cousins, etc. Close relatives are those like parents, children, brothers or sisters. Distant relatives are people like second cousins [the children of a cousin of your mother or father] or distant cousins. Close/immediate family refers to people who are your nearest blood relatives: I don’t have much close/immediate family. She’s a distant cousin of mine; she’s not a blood relative. Close can also be used to mean that the relationship is a very strong one: We are a very close family. or We are a very close-knit family. These adjectives also collocate with family: loving, respectable, dysfunctional [unhappy, not working in a healthy way] Simon came from a respectable family, so Mary’s parents felt happy about the marriage. Someone’s late husband/wife is one who has died. An estranged [formal] husband/wife is one who lives in a different place and has a difficult relationship with their husband/wife. They may be having a trial separation and may eventually decide to get a divorce. In some cases it can be a bitter/acrimonious divorce. [full of anger, arguments and bad feeling] A person’s ex-husband/ex-wife is a man/woman that she/he used to be married to. Children whose parents have separated or divorced are said to come from a broken home. If their family is a strong, loving one it can be called a stable home. If it is a poor one, not having the things that are necessary for a pleasant life, such as enough money, food or good living conditions, it can be called a deprived home.
