Then when it was getting more violent and her opinion of Adam waned, she ended up being disillusioned, and realized her parents were right about the Fang and what was happening to them. I can see her arc half learning to let people who love her into her life despite the risks (Sun) and reconciling with her parents for her part in the New Fang (her parents). My theory for what might have hapenned between Blake and her parents, on the basis that Adam has been described as abusive by the crew was something more along the lines of Adam having taken Blake away. Maybe neither Blake knows her parents are alive, nor her parents know she is alive.

Menagerie isn't considered a kingdom. If Blake is from there, it's possible her statement to Ozpin that she learnt to fight because outside of the kingdoms it's "fight or die" was more true than cover up story. And maybe Adam took Blake away from her parents while "protecting" her from some Grimm attack.
