I am still in shock. I had a user in my home group whose profile appeared on Plex when I signed in - along with another 4 family members.

After send one of the users a link to confirm their email address and add them as a managed user. All of the other home profiles have disappeared. I dont understand why this would be. I sent something to them as a user, I have not changed anything about my account and now I have lost all the home users. That doesnt seem right to me.

What is the best way to get that back?

A user with an email address cannot become a managed user.  
If you meant to invite this user into your Plex Home (which does NOT make them a managed user), you might accidentally joined the Plex Home of this user instead.  
Or you’ve left your own Home.  
At this time, you don’t have a Plex Home and no managed users.  
There is no “Undo” for this type of action. You will have to recreate your managed users.

I havent done this, but the user may have. I would say this is pretty poor if another user can affect my account. And its even poorer that it cant be undone. There should always be the means to revert.

No, the other user cannot do it – unless you gave him your username and password.

I still think that’s off. They have had an email request sent to their email. Not my email, theirs. There’s a validation that has failed there. If my account was the primary home user - how can that change the home they were invited to as they are one and the same? All that is different is that I was going to make them a managed user via their own email log in.

I still say this is poor. Whatever way I look at it - no new home group was created. Just the action of reuqesting someone to have an email login.
