[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your husband sounds like a pain, and I doubt it will get better any time soon. (My husband is somewhat similar.) You have to decide whether you can just accept that he's going to be a jerk some of the time, or whether it makes you feel miserable to have this kind of mentality around you and your child. Your husband sounds unpleasant but none of what you referenced is likely to be considered abuse under the law or for visa purposes. It sounds like bickering between an unhappy couple with a small child.

[b]Fwiw, I don't think a life in an Eastern European country with your child is so terrible that you should stay here if you're truly unhappy. Your child presumably has a US citizenship, so he will always have better prospects than others in his country.[/b] And there are lots of places in Eastern Europe that are growing - Poland for example.

I am EE as well, and I am puzzled with the bleak prospects that OP sees over there.

I am not saying they are great (also depends on which country we are talking about), but what exactly are your prospects here, OP? Even if you get your legal status resolved (a big and complicated IF), doesn't mean you will get a job, or that it will be well paid . Vacations are certainly going to be very short, and you will be coming late home from work who knows when. Childcare costs here are enormous and can easily eat up your whole salary. You child has a citizenship and he can make a great start in the US even when he is 18 or 22. I am not so sure about you. At least you have family there, and with the money your husband would send you could have a comfortable life.[/quote]
