Ohio or Alaska

I moved abot 3 months ago to Alaska from Ohio for a job. I have a house, dog, cat, car, family all back in Ohio. I LOVE my job. I've been doing well with it and that is the highlight of living here. When I moved a family my family knew out here told me some things..one I could live with them rent free for up to a year...two I would have a car to use and would not need to send mine till summer. These were basic things that made me choose to move I could save money pay some things off...well that didn't happen. My mom and sister came with me to get me settled and the day after they left I was told they were taking me to look at an apartment. Only two day before I had signed my new contract and was leaving that afternoon for a work trip. So I went to look at the apartment, I could not by any means afford it. The family told me because this happened they would pay for it as long as I needed. So I signed the lease because I trusted them. They paid the first month. Then 2 days before rent was do again and the day before I was leaving to go to my brothers graduation from boot camp they gave me a check for half the rent. This last month I was on my own. I have found a way to get out of this lease but I am going to have to pay for an extra month and that puts my bank account at below zero at the first of the month. Also the car I was supposed to have till summer will be gone at that point as well....don't ask...I have some form of moving help but I have to pay for it first and them turn in reciepts. Last week I talked to the head of the company and I am feeling discouraged. I don't know what to do or how to do it. I feel like if I stay I will end up broke and have no way to make things work. But I have no job back in Ohio so I would need to find one. Tomorrow I will know more about what is going to happen with the company being able to help, but honest...today I have just felt like going home. I even looked at flights and decided a day to go back to Ohio. It could just be the waiting causing me to worry but I keep going back and forth I am not sure if I should stay

Pro: 

I love my job ( don't have a job in Ohio)
My coworkers are great
I don't want to miss out on the summer here
I love my clients
People really like me and want me to stay

Con: 

the people I trusted have lied to me so many times
I can't afford to live here
I have few friends
area depresses me at times
I have almost ran home already
My car got broken into and my laptop is gone
I will have no car

Con arguments

move back to Ohio

It seems like there are more cons than pros. The pros all seem to be work-related, which can create a tie-up. I would suggest you more back to Ohio where your heart seems to lie. You can always get a job in Ohio, even if it is part-time. Your family would also support you more strongly in Ohio.
