Family
Family is the basic social group united through bonds of kinship or marriage, present in all societies. (“Family”) Ideally, the family provides its members with protection, companionship, security, and socialization. The structure of the family and the needs that the family fulfills vary from society to society. The only function of the family that continues to survive all change is the provision of affection and emotional support by and to all its members, particularly infants and young children.

(McBride 98) As far as extended family, McBride only knew his step-father’s daughter from a previous marriage, who he only saw once.
