Then again
But then again as/just/same like the way/ just as the way your folks must be missing you even I sure miss you.
Is the above framed ok? 'but then again' is a contradict to something which I said earlier.

"Then again" usually introduces a contrary example, which might exist in prior context. ) It would be a good idea to include the prior idea. I find the slashes confusing.

Ok Mr Avangi,
Is the below sentence framed ok?
Suppose for eg: I dont love you, but then again as/just/same like the way/ just as the way your folks must be missing you even I sure miss you.
please suggest.

Pick one option, and "frame" it as a sentence (or two - the antecedent and consequent thought), and I'll try to answer.
I think you need to say something like "I don't love you. But then again in a certain sense I do. I sure miss you - but in the way your folks must be missing you."
I think you need the caveat.

It's not quite natural, in my opinion.
"Just like" and "the same way" are redundant, according to my ear. ("Then again" is okay.)
We say "X exists in the same way as Y." (or "in the same way that Y does")
OR "X exists just like Y does."
We don't use both in the same phrase.
