This is weird to me. I love my family but that doesn't mean I want to see them all the time. I'd never give up a personal opportunity because I'd "miss them too much".
Keeping family close is important, but close doesn't necessarily mean geographically. Going out and making your own way and starting a family of your own is important too.
