My genogram..

So I loved doing the genogram. Certain older members of my family have recently been trying to update our family tree so it was easy to just call my mom and ask for the information. She emailed all the information to me and I was able to make my genogram without to many headaches. I was hoping for a piece of information about my family I didn't know because my family isn't too complicated and I thought I knew about almost everything. I did end up finding something that was interesting to me. See my dad was married before he married my mom. I always knew about it and I knew I had two half sisters and for the most part I thought I knew everything there was to know about it. When we lived close to my half sisters when i was very little we stayed in touch with them but when i was about 4 and we moved we kind of lost touch. I always wondered all about my dad's past but it was something that was very touchy to him and i never wanted to bring up bad memories or say the wrong thing. When I asked my mom about all my families history though she told me the dates to my dad's marriage and I was a little surprised. I realized my dad had never told me how long he was married to his ex wife and it just surprised me a little bit that they were almost married for ten years. I guess it shocked me because he never went into so much detail about things so the way he talked about it made me think they were only married a short time and had two kids the end type of a thing. I know I didn't find anything too great but doing the project did make things clear to me. I was able to see how old my grandparents really were and I looked at how old they were when they had their first child and that kind of stuff. Like I said I loved it and I really got to know more about my extended family just by doing something so simple.
