I certainly don't presume to tell you how you should feel about your childhood. just saying most people don't actually keep friends all the way through childhood, regardless of the circumstances. at best, they get to delay entering the relationship churn until their late teens or early twenties. as an adult, you might get lucky with a job where you can choose not to move away from your friends, but you don't get to stop them from moving away one by one or all at once to chase opportunities in different places. even my parents, who worked the same jobs and lived in the same house for 25 years don't have the same friends they had when I was a kid. most of those people moved away too.
