I lost my father 2 weeks ago and my family is highly dysfuctional, so this loss is really complicated. I’m finding myself very isolated and unable to function. I don’t feel safe or seen by my mom and brother (my only family) and thats re traumatizing me further. I looked into grief support groups, but I have a sense that those groups will have conversations around a loving bond with a deceased/lost one. That’s not the entirety for me.
I am wondering if there are any support groups for those who have experiences loss in dysfunctional relationships. I would appreciate any input from this group. For context, I live in Seattle.

I went to a group therapy book group about Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, which was great. It was national, but i’m not sure if they’ll do it again. The book might help though! I also have a friend who read it with her friends and had a brunch book group.
