I have posted about this but noone replied so i thought i'd try again.
Dad got with his gf 5 months after dm died. I do mot have an easy relationship with him...but i feel bereft. I hardly see him and what little support he have has vanished.so i have lost dm and dad
His gf is m y best friend's mum. So i am now distant from her as it has caused complcations. In some ways this is good she is a frenemy and i feel very hurt that he has now grown close to my friend and her dd whilst growing apart from my dd. ...his granddaughter.
The whole situation used to be toxic as him, his gf and my friend used to scapegoat dd and i ...just feel like i have no extended family.

Have you tried seeing your dad on his own ?

That sounds very difficult OP.
My F-i-l moved on quickly after his wife's death. It shocked the whole extended family. It wasn't with anyone they knew though, so I can only imagine that makes your situation a whole lot worse.
I think in these situations, time is a great healer. Is it a case of he won't see you or you won't see him? Is his new family blocking him from seeing you? Sorry, not sure what you mean by they are scapegoating your DD.
