it's a little complicated so i will give you the condensed version. sophia is the oldest of the three kids, with ~singer being the youngest. they grew up in long island, ny. their father was a surgeon and their mother was a socialite of sorts. when sophia was eight, their father showed up drunk (he was abusing alcohol, gambling, cheating on their mother for some time) for a surgery and the patient died, resulting in his arrest. he killed himself in prison and their mother would remarry a ceo from nyc, who would later adopt the kids. their mother died in a hit and run pedestrian accident when sophia was thirteen and they were raised by their step-father who adopted them. that's the short version and you can read more in my bio. what happened to him after that, how he ended up in boston, etc is totally up to you but i always said the family was really close!
