Hi Mommy, I'm sorry everything is tough for you now. I hope things will get better for you soon. Maybe you can consider daycare or child care for the kids while you go back to the working world? And see if things between your husband will improve when you have a job again.
I kindda know how you feel. I had a really good job that paid really well and I resigned 2 years ago to be with my partner who lives overseas. I also decided to continue my studies overseas. My partner has been supportive and kind but his family is the one who treat me differently as if I am living off their son. I was really hurt initially and dreaded seeing them but I am now done with school and will be rejoining the working world. I realise now that I don't really care what they think and their opinion about me shouldn't matter. Prove them wrong!
I hope you figure things out and find your own way soon. My view is that you get a job again and have some of your own "power". It's unfortunate and sad but as women, there is so much expected of us -- be a good mother, a good housewife and also a career woman.
