My current apartment definitely feels more like home now than the actual place I grew up in... it's very weird :(
That's good to hear, because I think that points the way forward.
The unfortunate reality, I think, is that the feeling you have is the product of your upbringing. Some people and some parents create a solid sense of roots that feel very nurturing. It gives the feeling that while the world may change, the protection and familiarity of home will never change.
You didn't get that. Which is not fair. That doesn't mean you can't have that, but it does mean you have to make it yourself in a new home going forward. And it's a very gradual process.
