The stress and dislocation of moving can be so hard on people, and often they don't expect it, assuming that a new place and a new job and new friends and new surroundings will be everything that the U-Haul commercials advertise. The national job market and the steadily rising costs of living and raising a child heap on added stress; I can see the attraction of moving somewhere, anywhere that would balance your finances. It sounds like you've been suffering from a great deal of stress; I don't know if blaming it on your husband is justified or not (it may be), but it's not good for your relationship, and therefore not good for your son. Do you have insurance that provides you with coverage for talk therapy, or are there group therapy sessions available locally where you could share your feelings with others and get their feedback? I attended a bipolar support group in the South Bay (CA) that was enormously helpful, supportive, and free. Have you consulted a mental health professional?
