This is exactly how it'd be with my family if I told them and I know it -- this is why they don't know. Also, I only lived an hour and a half away from my university so travel home for the holidays was not a huge issue. Sorry if I sound like I'm rubbing it in.
I did, however, know people in situations just like yours. I feel like you have every right to go home -- and it
is worth it, despite the financial strain. Sometimes the things that will make you happy will cost you money. Bills do have to get paid and that's the predicament I'm in right now; my emotions take a strain because I'm trying to stay responsible financially so I can't do as many fun things.
But I'm making it and you will too.
It gets hard, but you deserve a trip home I think. Let us know how everything works out.
