I guess all I wanted to add is that if your T doesn't recognise your e-mail for what it was (i.e. as you say wanting to be heard), then sounds like it probably isn't the T for you anyway.

I too frequently want to quit - well continuously really, it is such a tough thing sticking with it - I too am curious why your T wants you to leave your W - has your T said that, or is that just what you think T wants you to do? Good luck. Soup
