Family life in the United States at the epoch of slavery had no value. People were treated as piece of animals and sold to the highers bidder. Master and owners of slaves didn't care about their feelings nor their working ethic, they just wanted to make easy money by selling their whole family wife, children and babies. The states at this epoch had no legal protection for the slaves and their marriage. Kids and mom could be separated at any time and send any where without their concern or care. Most of  the families that were separated never got to see their family again. Slave families were taken to auctions an sold as if the were sheep or lamb. They were even sold by pounds and age. Their physical appearance made them worth more in the eyes of the bidders. The worst thing about it is the owners of these slave didn't even let them say goodbye and always made sure to send to saep[arte the families as much as they could by selling them to different states.
