Hey everyone - thanks for all the input.

I’ve been doing some research and there are no online programs for the Appraiser Licensing - you need to attend classes in person.

SO has been very erratic. We went to the travel trailer last week and he found some problems with the brakes on my truck and asked me to come to his house so he could fix them. The kids & I stayed for a few days. Now, again, since we left, kissing me goodbye saying talk to you soon - (last Thursday) haven’t heard from him. No calls to the kids, nothing.

While I was there, he started a flaming argument with me about stuff from the week before (me not lending him the money he wanted, etc, etc.) I have actually asked him what his thoughts were about us moving back, me going to school, and him helping out with the kids while I was in class. I presented it to him in a way that it wouldn’t be about “us” getting back together, but more about me getting my licensure while saving money, etc. No response from him except for him saying to me that he “Hasn’t forgotten about it, but he’s thinking.” OK. So, only a couple weeks ago he’s asking me to move in, now when I “ask” him, he’s not giving me an answer. Shrug.

I’ve thought a lot about the implications of me moving back there, and I can’t really figure out if it’s a good idea or not. Sometimes, yes - I’m so detached from all his crap that I ’think” I’d be able to tough it out; then on the other hand, like you pointed out Rob- not sure if I’d get sucked back into all that drama and come out worse. But anyway, school starts in a little more than 2 weeks, and I really need an answer in the next couple of days, so it looks like I’ll have to ask him what his answer is. I’d have to get the girls transferred, myself registered, etc, etc and can’t do it on a moments notice. And honestly, whatever. If I stay here, I stay here - I’ll figure something out. If he says yes, then I go in that direction. I’ll admit I’m just getting impatient for an answer.

So, that’s where I’m at. Been enjoying the summer with the kids - fair, hanging out with family. It’s been a good summer so far. Tomorrow taking D8, niece 8, nephew 13 to NYC. I can’t wait!! This is the one thing I’ve been looking forward to all summer!
