I Miss Home

From recent responses to discussions it made me realize how much I miss my home community.
I moved for a better school district (greatly needed) and we have settled in here but after a year and a half it still doesn't feel like home to me. My children are doing better, getting the help they need in the right areas, but I still miss who familiar we were with everyone in the community I came from.
I am not lonely by terms of needing to talk to a person every day, but it's the familiarity that I miss I guess.
Ever move? Been homesick?

I also had to move somewhere to study and after one year, i persuade my parents to go back to a place i am more comfortable of calling "home". I left my parents and live in our old house alone.

Do you feel homesick now that you live alone?

I have always disliked moving, but I ended up moving house like mad. Once, I moved to another state (a bigger city) and I hated almost every day there. The weather pattern was different, the trees didn't look romantic and dreamy enough, the houses and streets narrow and dirty, etc. I left after 10 years.

I am considering moving again in another year or two, but we will see. This next consideration is a big one because it would be another state.

We moved over the mountains to another part of my state due to hubby getting work here. I love the little place that I live in and I crave where we used to live. That part of the world is so congested with traffic and yet I love its green forests and trails. I need it but its too expensive to buy over there again and my hubby did not feel he was treated well there so we'll not be going back.

A career has to be the better choice. After retiring, we can move where ever we want! LOL Least that's something to look forward too.

@kprofgames Economics prevents such easy solutions. Others want to live in paradise and there goes the price.....

I sure have. The worst time was when I was a Jr in high school. I moved away from the town I was born and raised in. I was really active in my school and had life long friends and a boyfriend. I was depressed and homesick for a long time.
I'm sorry you are going through this.

That would be very hard being that far away. Was it a long time away?

Yes, though sometimes we are fine with the new place, we might still miss those friends and environment in the old places. Though I have not really move with my whole family, I used to stay in different places when I was studying, and I kinda missed my old friends though I met new friends too. But it's good that you have found a better school for your kids and they are doing better too.

I do miss being close to my parents. I moved one county away but it is an almost 45-minute drive to their home and money is always tight it seems. I do not miss other family members and the kids I grew up with though.

@kprofgames I went to see my parents this weekend. I am glad I did. They are both not doing that great. I am rather scared for them at the moment. Now that I have my vehicle back, I am going to make it a regular habit.

@Shellyann36 I think we come to a time we know where we need to be and when. I am going back and forth about moving back around my family (would give me a 40 mile commute one way), but I think I am needed more there than here. There is so much back and forth. I wouldn't say it's a guilt thing, more over I know I need to pull the knee boots up and start to step up more.

Last few months been going back a few times a week to help my mom out. Like you it's about a 45 minute drive. Time gets away from me. I work graveyard shift and have no concept of time the way it is.

I never moved out and never have been far from family.

When in college I lived farther away, but I also lived with my brother. I've never been that far away from family before either.

I agree, we may be far or go to other places for some time, but we always yearn to return home.
