Marx had tearing apart the family in his early drafts of the Communist Manifesto, but he wisely took it out as people in 1848 would not have stood for it.
The reason is because the family is an alternative focus of loyalty for people. Same as churches, organizations, all sorts of other things that communists historically and the modern neoliberal state work very hard to undermine.

Correct - they didn't have a disdain for family and all these other things - they just didn't want people to have any other loyalty than to the Communist ideology.
