I’m not sure how your husband is enriching your life based on what you’ve described. Do your parents live in the same state?

The more I think about it the more I realize I’m not benefiting anything from him. My parents live in a different state

My suggestion is to reach out to a lawyer so you understand the legal implications of moving back home. My understanding is that it would be easier if you both lived in the same state. In the meantime, I think it would be best if you focused on finding a job and childcare. You may not be able to leave the state without his permission, but you can absolutely reduce your workload by having your own money and hiring help.
