 Family has a way of making you feel guilty (even without saying anything) if that's the family dynamic. It seems so in your case, because otherwise family would have "BEEN THERE FOR YOU" all along the way to work through those family issues, right?
I'm sorry for this struggle. I do understand, I do.
It's perfectly ok to do good self care in a time like this. It's good to be an adult isn't it, when we can make those choices we know are best for us. It isn't being selfish, like family and society can try and make us feel. It's good self care and I admire your strength.
You might do some "compensatory" things to let the family know you really do care about the loss being experienced (send card, flowers) or whatever.... or not if you just can't, you just can't.
