A very sad question
I was talking with a young lady on the train today, going home from work. She asked me how old my children were and I told her.
Then she asked about something I take for granted: "Do your children live with you?" And the same question about my wife: "Do you live with her?"
It is very sad that this girl would have to ask this question.
God calls us to be a family. I would encourage you to develop deeper relationships with your church family because God has made it possible
Hebrews 2:10-12 In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through suffering. Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

I'm glad that you live with your family, and that you are talking with people on the train. I see Jesus in both of those actions.
While it is easy to get offended it does tell us something about reality. In reality we live in a world where many are divorced. One ancient Roman history scholar said that in the time of Paul most kids lived in blended families. So, our calling as a church is to do what it did then--provide ministries to those in divorce, etc.
