I am truly sorry for your loss. It sounds like you are a loving and dutiful son. A little insight- when you publicly insult someone (on social media) it is far more damaging then if you had picked up the phone to have a personal discussion with someone. Tone is lost and your criticism comes accross as a personal attack no matter your intent. I’m not justifying the abandonment of you but I strongly suggest you live by the adage: compliment in public and criticize in private.
It sounds to me like you managed to alienate your family. It happens, not just because of politics. You know the old saying - religion and politics are off-limits. You violated that principle and it came back to bite you. Sorry for the loss of your dad. As a Vietnam veteran myself, I realize we're dying off quickly. As for you being politically homeless, it doesn't sound like it since you don't seem to have changed your politics.
