What children became the parents of the family of gods that Homer uses in the Odyssey?
I know that your question seems clear, but I'm a bit perplexed. The family of the Gods was made up of Zeus and his brothers and sisters: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Poseidon and Hades. Zeus married his sister Hera. Their parents were Cronos and Rhea. Gods were all considered related because they were all related in one way or another. So, either the answer would be Cronos and Rhea, parents and ancestors to all the Gods or Zeus and Hera rulers and figuritive parents of the Gods.

Why homer blind?
Like much of Homer's life, including whether he existed at all, there is a mystery surrounding his blindness. It is assumed he was blind based on the character in The Odyssey called Demodokos. Many scholars believe attributing blindness to Homer began with this tale.
Was Homer author of The Odyssey married?
We know nothing of the life of Homer, except what we can deduce from what is in the poems themselves. All the documentary evidence we have about the author of the poems was written down centuries after the poems, and most of it is self-contradictory (at least seven ancient cities claimed to be Homer's birthplace). Scholarship can date Homer to the seventh or eight century BC with a reasonable amount of certainty, and the language of the poems seems to be mainly Ionian. Really, that is all we know about the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey.
