Husband American, I'm Canadian.
Married in Nova Scotia 2011. Canadian work permit never came after 2 years. Decided to turn the tables in 2013. Gave birth to 2nd son in Aug 2013 and wasn't working, due to lack of money I sent my kids to live with in laws to find a job in April 2014. Found a job but didn't pay enough, kids currently live with in laws. Husband works 60 hours a week and lives in a different state as kids, he can't take them due to his work schedule. Kids have been living apart from both of us for 1 year and counting.
