Brother,
We're sorry to hear about ur situation, however we wish you courage to face the problems. I personally feel sorry about it.

The good thing is, that your employer is kind to you (Probably because he is willing to get all the work done from you), however keeping 6 children is indeed tough (That too for a man).

Unfortunately, you cannot leave your employer untill 2 years as the new visa rules are not so welcoming to the employees like you. If you do so, you will be ban to enter Oman for another 2 years. Hence, the probability of finding another company is almost 0% for you.

The available options with you are, either to look for an employer in UAE or if you're unable to handle the situation, then pay back the visa expenses to your current employer and exit. No other option will help you getting out of the tough situation.

Best of luck brother.
