I think You should give him time to adjust to being out of jail before you rush into living with him. Wait until he has a job and a place to live.
You also want to be sure that you will be safe living with him...you don't say why he is in jail. I believe some people can change, but you need to be sure before putting yourself back in the situation. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Like visit him on weekends and stuff and see if you really would want to live with him and to see whether he's changed or not. By the way where is your Mother in all of this?

DangerNerd answered Monday May 30 2005, 3:57 pm: Hello there,
You could just ask your Dad outright, again, what happened to the visit. He may not want to tell you because he got hurt or in a fight in jail. If he really doesn't want to tell you I am sure there is a pretty good reason, otherwise he would just tell you and it would be no problem.
Get ahold of him and see if you can get another visit with him all set up.
Send him a letter, just to say hello and all. Ask for a visit.
As far as living with him goes, I would have to ask this: What is he in jail for?
Did he hurt you or your sister?
If the answer to the last question is no, then I would be likely to want to live with my dad.
He is in jail. That is a problem. But if this is the only time he has been in jail, it may be the last time.
Everybody makes mistakes, and it doesn't sound like you are mad at him, so you should be able to forgive him for going away.
You could stay with your foster family for a while after he gets out, and you will see if he has changed or not. Think about this idea.
