If you were not married, I would say do what you wish. Since you are, I suggest you give it time staying where you are ... with your husband. If it does not improve, work on the problem again ... then.

As for the rest of your post .. If they cannot forgive .. forgiveness is lost ... and you must move on.

I am woundering what was the reason for moving far away in the first place .....I can understand how hard it must be to be so far from your children ......do you have a counclor there that you can talk to ...it might help .you sort things out ....I say if your family has made that dishion than it is there loss .....I am very happy that ..you were able to work it out with your children .......did your husband ..want you to move away from your family ...not your children ...because ..of the effect your family had on you ............you need to look after your self ...get plenty of rest ......I will keep you in my prayers .....God bless

He sounds like such a mummy's boy. Do you feel loved and cared for him in any other ways? Do you feel like he thinks you're important? Or do you feel like he's just married you to get a housekeeper and dishwasher?

How old are your kids? I see your 47. Must have had them young for them to be grown and on their own.

I understand what it is like not to have a family. I don't know what it's like to have one turn their back on you though. I have had to make my own family of friends to compensate for the family I never had.

Since you have moved to a new area. Now might be a great time to make new friends and form a family you want.
