I remember this feeling after being away at college for the first year. It wasn't perpetuated so much from a feeling towards my family, but moreso the absence of my friends. Most of the people who i hung out with at "home" before leaving for college were still away at school, working out of the area in summer jobs, or enlisted and relocated. There was a distinct sence of change and emptiness in what i had remembered as "home" even tho not much had changed with my actual family.
I didn't like this feeling, so much so that for subsequent summers i made sure i had other plans either working somewhere or traveling somewhere that i didn't return "home" for the summer break.
