Is it my responsibility to live near my mother, even though she and my brother dislike my religion and pressure me to abandon it, despite the fact that I have two children and it would require moving to a non-Islamic country?

Bismihi ta'ala
It is your wajib duty to obey your mother, as long as she is not encouraging or forcing you to commit sin. She wanting you to live near her could mean she is still caring for you and loves you. It is just a matter of accommodating to her, compromising where you can, controlling your emotions, and also creating boundaries.
With all the sacrifices you make for your mother, Allah ta'ala will certainly compensate in the best of ways.
And Allah knows best.
