familial bond
Tie between relatives
A familial bond is the emotional connection between family members—the attachment that develops through shared blood, upbringing, or legal ties like adoption.
The phrase emphasizes the relationship's depth and durability: The familial bond between the sisters remained strong despite years of separation.
Familial bonds can be sources of support or obligation, sometimes both.
