I feel you. I am an only child as well. A lot of times when I would travel back and forth to my parents' house in college I would cry on the way home, and then feel supremely dumb. I think I also feel homesick, but not just homesick for my house or parents or pets—I miss feeling taken care of, and feeling like I had a…

CHARMS!

I got moo'ed at, too. Very original, bullies!
