That's just the way some people are, and there ain't a damned thing you can do about it.
I had very similar issues with a buddy of mine. He would come into town for 2 weeks during the holidays, and all he could muster would be one night away from the family to hang out with friends. I don't understand it myself. Like you, I don't have great relationships with my parents so spending that much time with them would just drive me crazy. It's just a different family life.
