You kept saying "my father" and such. Referring to the character's family as "his/her family" is the first step to distancing yourself from your character and all the potential drama that may arise in his/her life.
While that is true, pen&paper RPers have been doing this for decades.
In a mmorpg, we use 3rd-person all the time but in D&D and other such games, most speak in 1st person when describing their characters or their actions.
"I draw my sword and charge the goblin!"
or
"My father was a simple farmer but I wished for adventures and treasure hunting..."
It's just a different way to say things.
