Disowned by family

5 years ago I moved to the other side of the country and married my husband. I was living with my in-laws. During that period it started off good but overtime it got depressing and extremely toxic with my in-laws who were making my our life hell. They were controlling and caused alot of arguments which put alot of strain on our marriage. After working hard and saving we finally brought a place and moved out recently. My in-laws were not happy for us and have now disowned us and cut contact completely for getting our own place!

It's a sad situation as my husband now has no family and I don't have any family here either (they are on the otherside of the country though) and I only got one friend since moving here. I know I should be happy I am not in that toxic environment but I can't help feel a bit lonely and I think about holidays/occasions coming up when we are just going to be the two of us essentially. We are ttc aswell and I worry about that baby who won't have that connection. Moving closer to my family isn't an option right now but do you think its worth moving in the future? Has anybody else been in this situation of having no family support? Any advice would be great.
