So yeah, if anyone can help me out with a better word?

I’m sorry about that, I am not close to my family either. I agree with some other posters, family of origin or biological family would work and I’m sure there are others. In fact, household family would work since it is more specific. Some of these suggestions make it more distant, gives the impression that you’re not close with them which is how I feel about mine.
