@Kindrov, in the comics, Barry was an only child. His mother Nora was pampering him, until she was mysteriously murdered. Though his father Henry was convicted for it, and died in prison, both Barry and Henry were convinced of his innocence. Later, it was revealed the murderer was... can't remember, either Savitar or Prof Zoom.

@Mario: Cissie could just maybe work, though the entire point of the character was that she had no affiliation with the Arrow Family (of course, this doesn't mean a thing for YJ, but still). She was pressed into the role by her mom, who was a GA fangirl.
