Let's start from the beginning...
Her mother was Danica Rosić and her father was Vojin Abramović.

So I do some digging and I find this...
29.08. 1880. Rođen u Pljevljima Petar Đ. Rosić Varnava
Google translated:
UROŠ (1885 - 1937) he was a trader with his brother Alex. He was married with Milica Vojinovic from Uzice with whom he had four children: Danica Day Abramovic graduate. history.

So Danica Rosić, Marina Abramovic's mother was his daughter...
Don't believe me? Check out what it says on Wikipedia...
Varnava, Serbian Patriarch
He was the great-uncle of performance artist Marina Abramović.
Varnava Rosić (Serbian Cyrillic: Варнава Росић) was the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church between 1930 and 1937.[1] He was born Petar Rosić in Pljevlja, belonging at that time to the Ottoman Empire, on August 29, 1880.

So they I do some more searches and I find his mention in 'Rasputin: The Biography'...
Slight and short with a high-pitched voice, Vamava, it was rumoured, liked to wear women's clothing,throw wild parties in the monastery, and take boys to his bed. Father Georgy Shavelsky, the last protopresbyter of the Imperial Russian army and navy, characterized Vamava in a letter to Father Vostokov as a cunning and nasty figure of unhealthy ambition. He said Vamava was the confessor to "that Mason Count Witte, and is himself an atheist -Mason." Shavelsky even claimed Varnava had sexually abused and then murdered a beautiful young altar boy at Kolomna, his body discovered lodged under a mill wheel.
Here is the kicker though...
Vamava and Rasputin met in one of the capital's salons, and if they did not become friends, the two men of similar backgrounds apparently realized they could be of use to each other: Rasputin could help advance Varnava's career, Vamava could defend Rasputin against attacks from within the ranks of the church.

If you haven't heard of Rigori Yefimovich Rasputin check this documentary:

More info though not personally verified through other sources. Maybe someone can help with that...
Her maternal uncle was the powerful Varnava Rosić– Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church between 1930 and 1937. His body is interned at the Temple of Saint Sava in Belgrade. He believed that Hitler’s policy toward Jews and lesser races served all mankind. His last act was to oppose a Vatican Concordat to control the Orthodox Church. Knights assassinated him with poison before the final vote.
The (Orthodox) Temple of Saint Sava in Belgrade, Serbia is the largest Orthodox Church currently in use. The church is dedicated to St. Sava, founder of the Serbian church and an important figure in medieval Serbia. From its location, the temple dominates Belgrade’s skyline and is perhaps the most monumental building in the city.
Saint Sava (1174 – 1236), was known as The [Luciferian] Enlightener. He was a Serbian prince and Orthodox monk, the first Archbishop of the autocephalous Serbian Church. He was a prince of the House of Nemanjić descended from a Cabet Vukanovic Dynasty (1106- 1166) line of Hugh Cabet. I believe that this is Marina’s secret maternal East European Merovingian BLOODLINE, the House of Nemanjić.

Though I haven't found a direct link I believe that the name Rosić links to the Rosicrucianism secret socitey...
Rosicrucianism is a philosophical secret society said to have been founded in late medieval Germany by Christian Rosenkreuz. It holds a doctrine or theology "built on esoteric truths of the ancient past", which, "concealed from the average man, provide insight into nature, the physical universe and the spiritual realm." Rosicrucianism is symbolized by the Rosy Cross or Rose Cross.

I've found article where her brother Velimir Abramovič talks about her. http://www.newsweek.rs/srbija/76881-newsweek-predstavlja-velimir-abramovic-marina-je-kao-pikaso-malo-govori-istinu-a-malo-izmislja.html He basically says that she loves to make things up, that she is a great actor and that she is just playing the role of an artist.
She is like Picaso. She tells little bit of truth and little bit of lies. Especially when she talks about her childhood....
She can say that it was hard to live with our mother, but living with Marina was the same. (...) She has no empathy because she has a great feeling of her own mission so she can't see people around her.
He also says that she likes to call their parents national heroes and that it is not true. He says that she took all the photographs from her childhood on which she can be seen and she destroyed them because she is very ashamed of her young years. He also says that when their parents died, she had an idea that she and him hold their hands on the funeral although they are not in contact.
Now this is a much darker article. (http://pulse.rs/kad-marina-abramovic-umre-prvi-deo)). It says that she tried to kill her, then newborn, brother Velimir when she was 6. She dropped him in the bath full of water in hope that he would die because she felt neglected after he was born.
It also says that she used to get sick all the time when she was little and that her mother used to beat her up all the time. Also, when she was little her tooth fell out and blood wouldn't stop pouring. She end up in the hospital for few months because they couldn't determine what was wrong with her, apparently it wasn't hemophilia. Conclusion is that bleeding was because of her poor emotional state. (?)
It also says that in puberty she had really bad headaches that she inherited from her mother. She would stay in bad for 24 hour in pain and she would throw up and nobody cared.
