Need Life Advice - In A situation i can't find a plausible answer to...?

Alright Let me summarize this into a really short story, although it will still probably be a wall of text.





Throughout the first part of my lifetime, (up to about 10) my family had a tendency to moved from Houston (Age 8) to Florida, and back to Houston (Age 10) but on a different side of town. Although, back then I was young and it was still really easy to make friends, and meet new people.





When we moved back to Houston, my Father moved to Mississippi, while my brother, sister, and I went with my Mom to Texas.





My brother was 20, and my sister 17 at that time.





So basically, my mom worked, my brother did his own thing, and my sister rarely ever came home before 2 A.M. So that left me by myself.





Since we were still young, it was easy to jump right into friendships and become friends with a lot of people at the school I went to, and towards the end of 5th grade some really close bonds began to form.





Now some people might describe this as ';best friends';, but I tend to look at them more as a substitute family. There are about 4 people I became really close with, and although they were totally different people, I was able to bring them all together and I guess you could say we formed a ';Clique'; comprised of people with, for the most part, different interests.





End of the 7th grade year my brother had already moved out, my sister had moved out, and my parents got a divorce. My Mom decided to remarry and I ended up in San Antonio.





Been here for 2 or so years, made many ';friends';, but i still feel like something is missing. I've tried to fill it with games, comics, art, hobbies, Extra Curricular Activities, mmo's. But no matter what I do, it still feels like something is missing.





';Oh thousands of children have gone through this, and so can you.';


That is what they say when i tell them that something is still missing, but I feel as if I lost something greater than just friends.





It went from hanging out with People every single day after school, and on the weekends, to maybe getting to hang out with some people once every two MONTHS. I invite people out, but they just don't seem motivated to go at and just do something.

Wow, I'm really sorry. This must be really hard. The thing your missing is a life long companion. Seriously, one day you will find someone who is always going to be there because right now it doesn't sound like you have someone. Someone that is there for you when you need someone. Ever since you were eight/ten you stated that you have been on your own. My best advice is that you maybe talk to your sister about how you feel or possibly your brother. Whichever you feel would understand or care the most. I'm really sorry, hang in there hun.

i'm sure many people have gone through this, but knowing it can be done doesn't offer any comfort. since the friends you had in houston were a substitute family, as you put it, it's going to take a long time to get back to that level with someone else. however, it's not getting any easier if you just sit around by yourself. see if you can somehow cultivate a family in san antonio. i'm not saying this is going to be easy, it may be ridiculously hard, but sitting at home by yourself isn't going to help anything.
