I am married and have two young children. My husband moved us across the country a year and a half ago to work at a job he loves with better pay. I am a stay at home mom and have not worked for seven years. My husband is emotionally unavailable. I know somewhere he loves his children and me but he does not show it or try to do anything with us. He is only really happy when he works. We are isolated and my children only have me to be with. I am tired of feeling alone and feeling more alone when he is home. I have no financial means to support my children and have been dependent on him for seven years. He is not angry or mean he is just not anything. He does not participate in any activities we do. We are currently vacationing with family and am really not wanting to go back. Would I be a better mom to go back and be a family or stay here and give my children friends and family??

Another note is that it is only me and my children on vacation as he did not want to join us. He wanted to work instead.
