missing home

[buzybee]

I moved out of my childhood home the other day after 23 years with my little girl! I love it ive been waiting for this oppurtunity for a long time and my ittle girl loves the new house which is just up the road from my old house. Today when i when back to the house i got really emotional i couldnt and still cant stop crying! I feel so stupid, but something inside me hurts. maybe im just more insecure then i thought. Is this normal? Am i just immature?? It should be the most happy time of my life but all i wanna do is go home! Will i get over this?

Hi buzybee, not quite the same thing, but when we moved from the house we'd lived in for 13 years, where our children were born and had lived all their lives, I felt just the same.Everytime I had to pass near our old house, I felt pangs and homesickness. It took a while, but now if I go back, it's just a house where we used to live, not our home.
You obviously love your childhood home and have lots of lovely memories.
Do you still have some family at your old house, if so you can visit anytime and gradually you will settle down and make the new house 'home' for you and your little girl.
Wishing you lots of luck, love and happiness in your New Home. Kacee. : )

I realy feel for you and it is hard,im 27 now and still miss the house that i moved out of when i was 8 years old.It wasnt the first house i lived in but its the house my mum and dad split up in.Ive lived in a few houses since and have had my own house for the last 4 years and still miss the other one.Me and my girlfriend have been thinking about moving to a bigger house and a joint mortgage(because she moved in with me) but i keep putting it off because i keep waiting for that old house to go up for sale so i can buy that one!I know it sounds stupid but i have always felt like a part of me is missing and i always put it down to that house.I would love to own it and live there,but maybe it wont go up for sale for years! I just keep hoping ,so i know how you feel.I wish i could get over this and its been nearly 20 years!!!!! Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear but i just wanted to get it off my chest.
