Is it normal that i don't feel like home is home anymore?

I moved out some 7 months ago to be with my bf. All the way across the country from Mass to Florida now we are in North Carolina.

I came home recently for a prolonged vacation to see if I missed home and to decide whether or not I would like to be here, or back with him.

In this expedition, I realize how much this doesn't feel like where I belong. I've grown up so much but all of my friends and family have stayed the same. My stress free atmosphere has turned into my family's problematic scene. I feel unwelcomed even though everyone said they missed me.

I don't plan to stay. I left to not only find me but to make a life for myself away from this run down town. My home is now where I left to come here.

is it normal to not feel like I belong where I once called my home?

Is It Normal?

    Yes this normal. As you grow and mature and move on with your life, you realize that you can create a new "home" for yourself. I went through the same thing.

    You will never feel 'at home' again if you move out for a period of time and then try to go back. It seems that all your family's concerns are now a lot of trivial nonsense.

    Don't leave til you have to!!

    Went through the same thing.. Family drama through childhood.. I moved when I turned 18 to California from Colorado.. Last year I went to visit my family back in Colorado.. and it just didn't feel like home whatsoever.. Which is okay because being with your loved one should feel right at home and should realize that is where your heart belongs.
