This is going to be your fate, unless you choose to kill one side of yourself, either the American or the Belgian. All of us Immigrants feel that way. I assume that you speak French and will give you the following quote that I feel articulates this position we're in. "Partir, c'est mourir un peu. C'est mourir a ce qu'on aime. On laisse un peu de soi-meme, en tout ame et en tout lieu." In short, and just the beginning of it in English: "To leave is to die a little..."

what I don't get is it just the countries that tear you up or is it that your parents appear to be from what you have said seperated? I might be wrong and maybe it is just that you miss being with your mom when you are with your dad and then when you are with your mom you miss your dad?I mean otherwise to me it seems like you have got it pretty good, I wish I could get to travel that much, maybe you are just looking at something from the wrong point of veiw? you get to travel and most people don't get to do that, anyways not much is going to help you except learning to feel differently than the way you do right now

It's simple; find a 3rd country to live in. That way, you're not bound to either one. Find a hobby or a relationship to help the transition. It takes time, but you'll be fine.

try to spend the first week or two of the vacation in the States.
your problem is loneliness.
you should spend some time with your friends instead of your parents being the only reason for your existence.
