Would you rather know that you had an identical twin who died at 18 months or not know?
I overheard my parents talking. About my twin. I never knew I had a twin. I wish I hadn't overheard. I just came downstairs for some food because I was starving, and I heard "we agreed never to tell her", and I stop dead. It was my parents talking. I heard that I had an identical twin. Who died. I don't know how, but they said "natural causes" I am too scared to confront my parents. I don't even know her name. But I poked around later, when I was alone, and found 1 picture, with two of us in it, as newborns. What do I do? I'm just wondering if its normal that I'm wishing I never found out?

I think it's definitely normal that you wish you never found out. I wouldn't want to know if it was me...

It don't see that it would make much difference to me. Unless I was hearing Voices in my Head. :)

I think that's normal. When I first read your question my own answer was that I'd rather not know. On second thought, I was thinking as a parent I'd be afraid not to tell my child, because those kind of things come out and it would better for me as a parent to tell my child than for her to find out in some other way, but that would be the ONLY reason I would think it would be better to tell my child. I'm sure your parents chose to do what they thought best for you, but now that you do know, I'd be for talking to them about it. I think it could be healing for all of you.
