Is it normal i can't live without my family?

I am 19 and cannot live without my family. I have tried to live alone with people my own age but I just hate it. I am not extremely close to my family but they still mean so much to me. It honestly feels my heart is breaking if I cannot see them everyday. Is this pathetic for a 19 year old?
Before I moved out with people my own age, I actually moved in with my ex for a couple of months. He is about 4 years older. But I loved living with him because he felt like family anyway and I felt I could just be me around him. When we lived together, I didn't feel the need to see my family everyday, because I had him to take care of me.
IIN? I really do feel a bit pathetic that I cannot live alone and I feel really dependant on my family. When I lived alone I relapsed into depression and eating disorder I used to suffer from years ago. I just cannot be alone and it makes me feel like an absolute failure since I should be an adult. But I feel far from ready.

    You are dependent. You're only nineteen and personally I do not consider a nineteen year old an adult. So I don't see why you are torturing you so much. Just stay with your family. Stop making a fuss. It's not as if you had cancer.
