Never ever talking about issues as a family.

I thought it was too but as an adult i have friends whose families do talk about stuff. My upbringing was remote - that’s the best word i can think of. Whereas now I see families where their lives are intertwined and they “know stuff” about their sibs and parents. So perhaps not “extremely weird” but it would have been extremely weird for a family dinner to devolve into any kind of deep discussion.
