I feel like crap everyday now

My dad passed away on the 10th of this month and I'm feeling very sad, I have no one to lean or to turn to for support at all. I'm greiving alone and I feel so sad, I've tried to turn to my mom in this difficult time for me all to be told to just "get over it already" when I'm hurting because I lost a parent. both her and my siblings tell me to stop crying that I need to get over it already that I should be "tough" their stupid asses only say that because they weren't on good terms with him, so they aren't affected at all by his passing. my mom even said that she was happy that he died. I'm tired of having my feelings invaldated idk why my family supports other people who are in emotional pain but will dismiss my feelings. I really have no one to turn to any advice?

Well unfortunately honey this in itself is a very valuable lesson.
First off my condolences about your father.
But you cannot rely on people. I mean sometimes you can and its lovely to be supported but you never know when even the most reliable person will fail you. This is why I rely on God who never fails.

Your mom and parents are just being a bit childish in how they respond to you because of their hurt or anger. Because of their own feelings they just cannot empathize. These types of failings are part of being human.
If you need to talk to a professional do that, if you need to write your feelings out do that, if you need to cry do that. I also encourage prayer.
Loss is part of life. It is terrible. It hurts, its permanent but almost everyone has experienced it or they will so that is just a little bit of comfort. No one person will be able to be there to comfort you all the way but time will help.
God Bless
