I’m worried my family will get angry at me for not attending a family funeral, what should I do?

I am moving away this weekend and I had it all planned. However, my grand parent passed away very suddenly last weekend. The funeral is next week, however, I feel bad for not attending. I would need to catch flights to visit my hometown now that I am moving. The majority of my family are dysfunctional, they love to bad mouth me behind my back over everything. Whenever I’d be upset or go through a tough time, they’d just make remarks. I moved a few hours away from them earlier this year, and they haven’t spoken to me at all. When I’ve tried talking to them I get the cold shoulder. The only family member who is kind and that I talk too is my mom.

My sibling reached out since my grad parents death, and I find it very strange talking to her after all these months of the cold shoulder etc. They have asked if I’m going and I don’t know what to say. I know I can’t go because I need to get sort moving etc. I also don’t want to be around most of my family because of how I’ve been treated. I will say goodbye and I will visit my grand parent grave in my own time. I just know they will give me the cold shoulder, talk behind my back and judge me if I don’t go, what should I do?
