What do I do?

My grandma died recently and she was my only close family member. My dad asked why I am stressed and I mentioned it. He then went on to invalidate my feelings.

This happened to me and I distanced myself from family. Your other option (healthier) is to talk to them about how they’re invalidating you and how you’re allowed to deal with it whichever way works for you. Sorry for your loss 💐

@Freudianslip13 His response is always, "This is hard for all of us."

@Freudianslip13 They all have other close family members though. I don't.
