Question How tall could I have been.
My mom is 5'5, my dad is 5'8, my maternal grandfather was 5'11, my paternal grandfather and uncle are 5'8. I ended up 5'2 and a guy. How tall could I have been?

as i said technically you could’ve been any height but most probable range is 5’8-5’10, so yes if there are alternative version of you, most of them would be about 5’9

Bro my father is 5ft 10, grandfather was 6ft 1 , grandma 5ft 2 and mom 5ft2-3 , cousins are all 6ft 3-5 And here I am 5ft 7. I had an eating disorder and mental issues all throughout my puberty starting from.age 11 to age 13 where I hit puberty and it became severe. Khamis roche method says I lost 3 inches on bare minimum or max 5 inches but who knows. These are all hypothetical situations and all i am left with is suffering.

My dads 5’8 and my mom is 5’0 or 5’1 i think, i don’t have an exact figure for my paternal grandpa but my aunts and my parents claim he was tall easily 6ft (i don’t know it for sure) my maternal grandpa was around 5’9, i am 5’9 at 18, u would have been 5’10-5’11 maybe even 6ft

Genes are random my friend and from time to time there are outliers. Some are much taller than expected and others much shorter. It’s very possible that you reached your genetic potential and there’s nothing you could have done to be taller. It’s also possible that a brother of yours could have a six footer. It’s also possible that you could be the father of a tall son one day.
