We sold our first house 3 years ago and moved 4 miles away to the outskirts of the town. It is a new build and I have it exactly the way I want it. But I really badly miss the area I used to live in. I drove through it the other day and just felt at home there and I felt overwhelmingly sad that I don't live there anymore. It was in a council estate right in the town centre and was much more lively, and I just felt attached to the place. Didn't realise how much I've been missing it until today though. Moving back is currently not an option, due to it being to small and lack of space (main reason we moved) and my son has special needs and our new house is closer to the most suitable school for him, my husbands job is closer to the new house, so it just wouldn't make sense to move in the opposite direction of where we need to be, even though its not THAT far. Has anyone else ever felt like this? It's sort of a feeling of delayed homesickness.
