If there are a lot of problems at home, eg, constant quarrelling, and I don't feel happy at home, I believe I could say, "My house is not my home." Am I correct?

Many thanks.

@tanguatlay,

You could certainly say "My house is not my home" to convey the meaning you describe. Native speakers would immediately understand. You might qualify it by adding "at present" or "at the moment" or something similar, I suppose.
