Yes, I agree with you, you "do" need a "physical presense" support group situation.
You are lacking that very important element in your life, the people that "are" around you do not have the understanding and capacity to "comfort and support" you the way you need them to. I do hear you on that one. While PC is a good way to be exposed to others that are challenged with PTSD and can validate the challenge for you, it is not the same as having an actual "physical presence" you can have access to where you feel "connected" verses "alone or separate from". Yes, something like what is in place for those with addictions like AA where it is a group situation of "like" challenges where others can relate and discuss the challenge and mingle and work on developing better "coping skills" verses turning to alcohol. Only a group for those who struggle with PTSD, where there are "coping methods" discussed and also others to mingle with who understand the challenge that you can actually relate to and connect with, something you have "needed" for a while now.

I don't see anything wrong with wanting that, I think it is important and something you should continue to "pursue". I can understand how you feel the therapist is pushing too much too, if you need to "slow down" then you need to express that and the T "should" listen and slow things down for you.
