My dad was raised in shitty conditions? Can this reflect on how he raises me?

My dad's father was in two wars, so my dad's mother took care of him and his two brothers, and two sisters. They always moved, from Georgia (the country) to Germany, etc. All born in different countries. His mom died when he was 6 years old, and his father didn't "feel" like raising him (only him) so he sent him to an orphanage in Pennsylvania. (When he originally was raised in Maryland) At 16 years old he decided to escape the orphanage and hitch hike to Maryland when a women noticed him and drove him to a nearby police station and he got contact of his father again. In the ten years of being away from home, his father remarried and became his stepmother. She was abusive, both physically and mentally. She would beat my dad's younger brother (my Uncle) and attempted to kill my father in two occasions (when he was younger.) She died within two decades later when my dad married my mom and my mom took care of her. She would call the police on my mom at random (She developed Alzheimer) and then suddenly died. Then in 1990, my dad's father died. My dad's brothers and sisters are still with him, but his childhood was rough, and just majority of his life was rough.

Can this reflect on how he raises/raised me?
(I have depression and I'm bipolar, I have ADD and other conditions).
