The nuclear family as you call it has a lot of built in mental and emotional safeguards for your child. Even with a solid nuclear family it's hard to provide those safeguards, if you are intending to have children without them just be aware that you are going to have to work much harder to provide those mental and emotional safeguards. Parenting is already hard enough make very sure that you truly want to make it even harder still by going this route. I'm not saying it's impossible but you are in some sense doing it on hard mode. Full disclosure: I have raised 5 children.
