My mom wants to move out of our house, and we apparently are tommorow, my stomach is in pain and so is my heart. I love this house, this house is the only place where I have ever felt at home.
We are moving back to our old house, its newer, but its smaller, we have a forest behind and well... I really dont like it... Its a beautiful house, but its not home.

I suggest you to see it as a new step in life and keep the good memorize. Try writing about it so this moment in life can help you see good times. Don't let it bring you down, you'll have many more changes and will learn to adjust to new situations.

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do. It will always hurt when you are forced to go some place that doesn't feel like home. The best thing that you can do is take lots of pictures of the house and start a journal and write down every reason why that place felt like home and when you are having a down day or you have lost your way on life's path read that journal and remember that there is some place in the world that you really felt you belonged in and take that memory with you.

Try to make your new house just like the one you live in right now. Same colours. Take door knobs with you and replace them with new ones. Take many pictures with you. design the outside of the house you are moving back to just like the one you love. Why are you moving? Try to make the other house a home. Have scented candles or air fresherens all over the house to make it feel homey. Design you house with beautiful curtains, nice furniture, and even though you might not like it at first you taking care of it will change your mind. When I moved into a Cape cod style home, in another city I was upset, I was use to nice big fancy homes. Well, it's my first house. After taking care of it and being a stay at home mom, I've learned I really don't want to move, I have a huge backyard, a huge kitchen, a huge living room. I have colour in every single room. Colour all it's own. My living room is tropical and a martini olive green. My bathroom is apple red and very modern. My kitchen is gold and tan, my sons bedroom is the ocean, and my daughters is white and pink. Give your house some colour!

Moving is so hard. I hope your mom knows how you feel.
Even as adults it doesn't make it easier. We left a house I always swore I "hated" but just made a home. But the town, and yard, and neighbors were amazing. When it was all packed and ready (and empty) every memory of ours flooded my head. Broke my heart.
You move on. My son was only 10 at the time but he needed some time in each room, on the swing out back to reflect.
You will be ok in time but it's kind of a process. Good Luck.

I know just how you felt when I was 24 my mother sold our house I have lived in ever since I was 4. The thing you're going to have to do is talk with her and let her know how you feel. As much as I miss my house my mother did it for our best interest. I don't know how old you are, but you will have alot of other houses as you grow older sometimes even if you don't want them. Trust me I have moved 3 times in 4 years and I am so not happy with it. But your going to have to make this new place home or try to. But please talk to your mother and let her know how you feel or it will bother you in the end.

I recently moved from my home. I lived there for my whole child hood and i was really sad and scared that i wouldn't feel at home and i would miss my old house. When it came to moving day i was so excited and busy with the move and the new house i didn't really focus on the old house. Everything worked and i didn't end up being as sad as i thought i would.

A house is just 4 walls. The memories live in your head. Your new house will contain all your stuff, and most important, all your family. Treasure the time you have with them because it doesn't last forever and someday you'll look back on the places you lived with them and will realize they were all "home".

Think about ways to make it your home. Think of old friends you'll see again, and new friends that you will make.
I know its hard to leave a place you love, just keep it in your heart and mind.
Whenever you feel bad about something, think about the good memories of that house and it will help you get through some sad times. Whenever you think of it, it will make your heart smile.
Good luck.

Know that it's not the material things that make a place feel like home and just because you are leaving your house that you love, you can bring with you that same feeling anywhere you go. It's the memories that make you feel good, and no one can take those away from you!

Every adolescent feeling is magnified to 100x more important than it actually is. Trust me, in 20 years you won't still be shedding tears about, "Ooooh my house, ooooh I felt at home, oooooh!"
Just look at the good things in your life, recognize that you have a nice, new home while much of the world is living in squalor. I'm certain that you'll be able to push past this tragic episode in your life.
