Also they are divorcing and I wil have to move soon- and thats when I will feel like I wont have a house! I suppose it would help to meet some people and establish your self in the community- its especially hard in a city or a university setting because you may not know who those around you are- much different than a small town where everyone grew up together in..

 I think everyone has that "homeless" feeling when they are in a transitional phase of their life. You feel like a visitor at your parent's home and your new place is unfamiliar so it doesn't feel quite right either. Once you get comfortable with your surrounds and things start to look familiar to you, you'll feel like you're home.

 I completely feel like that. I'm not at home in my uni city or in my home city anymore. Stick with the place you moved to if you're happy there. It'll start to feel like home in time. As for your mum she's just missing you and taking it out on you in a negative way. It's what mums do. It'll resolve itself, don't worry.
