I haven't even been married a year yet, and already I miss my family so much. My husband's in the military so he got stationed 2,000 miles away from Florida lol and I haven't seen my family in 7 months.
I am very close to my family and I depend on them very much, like they depend on me. And being so far away, I can't help but feel guilty for leaving them. I feel bad because I know it's hard on them because they know that my husband and I are here alone, and they worry. I also feel bad because I've always been there for them.. When something needed to be done.. like a TV being set up, a dish being set up, and even going to doctor's appointment with them. I know they're adults but we aren't from US so they don't really know how a lot of things work. I feel like I should be at home, helping them.
I miss my parents sooo much. I feel bad that I moved out when I was 18 (though I did it because I was depressed and my mom's psychological problems were making mine worse). I know I hurt them a lot and now I feel really guilty. I feel like I wasn't thankful for everything that they did for me and now I've abandoned them.
They never make me feel bad or anything like that &they love my husband.
Sometimes I just want to go back to being a little kid and to never be away from my parents. Is that pathetic or what?

My husband has problems understanding why I'm sad sometimes.. he's not close to his family. He sometimes goes weeks without calling his siblings.. I talk to my family nearly every day! He feels like he's not good enough to keep me happy. So now I have to keep my feeling bottled up because I don't want to make him feel bad.
How do I get over this? It's so hard to think that I will lose them one day.. and it makes me feel like maybe I shouldn't be here, and I should go home and spend time with them before they die..
Am I immature?
What can I do to feel better about the distance.. it's nearly impossible for us to visit each other.
It makes me so sad when I think about the good times we had together and that we will never be able to share times like that.
