Before I was even a teenager, about half of my immediate family was dead, including my father, all of my grandparents, my aunt and uncle, and a few cousins. I'm sure there's someone I'm forgetting. Anyway, I know very little about my family, and I guess that's because of all the deaths and the mental illness in my surviving family members, leading to it being very hard for me to piece together anything about it. I don't even know the names of 2 of my grandparents, didn't know my father's birthday, any of my great-grandparents, etc. I've tried asking my mom about this, but I think it's hard for her to talk about. So, is it normal to know so little about my family?

    My parents didn't die young and I still have no clue who my family is or was. Never met any of my dad's family, and only my mom's mom a few times. No family history or anything. My parents apparently hated their families.
    Personally, I'm fine with it, but if I wasn't, there isn't a damn thing I could do about it anyway.
