I feel you! I love spending time with DS and am sad to leave him to go to work, but when I was home full time during the summer I started to feel like I was going crazy! Is there some other expense of yours that you could maybe cut to come up with the money for the one day of childcare? Like maybe something you don't need, like salon visits or Starbucks or something along those lines that you buy now? Or maybe reach out and join a mom groups in your area so you can get out and meet other moms and babies and not be so lonely? I understand what you mean though, if I were in your situation I would want to be closer to family, too. Hope it gets better!
Eta: I didn't read all of the posts before responding, sorry... I am guessing you don't spend money on "luxury items" based off the rest of the responses!

Agree with all the great advice. Just wanted to chime in an send hugs your way. Sounds like a tough situation and even though we aren't physically there, you always have this board to talk to. Plus I bet there are a few of us on here that would drive to where ever you are and kick your SO's ass if need me. Good luck with whatever you decide. Not easy choices. But please keep us posted.
