I lived in the same house for the first 17 years of my life. I moved about 6 months ago and I’m still having a bit of trouble with the new house. It’s not that far from the old one and i still see the same friends and family just as much as i did before moving so im not sure why im so unhappy.


About 2 months after we moved, one of the cats we brought over passed away. I keep seeing him in all the places of the house he used to stay in and i feel like his passing is the only significant memory i have from the new house? My father also berated him at the new dinner table a little bit before his passing and it’s all i can think about when i see my dad AND eat dinner at the table. My dad continues on our relationship as though it were the same but ever since the cat passed i dont want to speak to him or be near him or eat with just him. I think I subconsciously hate him now just for this one incident.


Sometimes when i take naps i like to close my eyes and imagine im sleeping at the old house, is that normal? I feel like it’s kind of an odd thing to do but i cant help it. I hate the new house, i feel like all that has happened here has been bad. Im moving to college in a few months and i cant wait to get away from the new house. I KNOW tho that as soon as i come home from school for thanksgiving and sit at the table i’ll see the incident with my cat in my head or i’ll look at where he used to lay and be sad all over again and hate my dad all over again. 

I just feel sad every day im in the new house and there’s nothing i can do to go back to the old one except get away from the new one. Any advice?
