You're probably right about visiting or moving in. Since he was an ass to my mom and is sometimes an ass in letters then I can see how he might be worse in person. My mother says the had the same mood swings with her. I'm used to people with mood swings though. It would be kind of hard to go there anytime soon anyway. I'd be afraid of not being able to leave. He knows I don't have a car right now and mentioned he has 2 and I could drive one of his and that he might buy me one. But if I were going to go to another state I'd want my own car or at least go through a rental company on my own and have one waiting for me.
I still haven't called him. Don't really see any reason to sever communication altogether. He hasn't really done anything yet to make me want him gone. So yes, I'm comfortable with keeping in touch with him at arm's length. He now has my phone number since I wrote it in the last letter which should get there Monday 3/1 the latest. I wrote a lame letter back explaining my phone sucks and I've been working a lot and late and told him to call me. So guess I'll see what happens..:/
