By this time I assume a decision has been made and I am quite curious to see what that will have been.
If you did in fact choose to stay, there are some positives in that. What we know is safe to us and thus I guess your anxiety might have eased. And, by them resisting your leaving, you will have garnered some of that authentication you so badly wanted and needed.
Still, if your decision was to move on pat yourself on the back because it was a tough one. You recognised in yourself that you have a great deal of worth and have stepped up to a challenge. I - we - am very proud of you.
Let us know how things are proceeding. Good luck either way you choose.

I accepted the job and today was the first day, it was all computer training stuff. Tomorrow I of course go in for the night shift but first I have to do some more computer training.
After my experience today I am giving it one last go tomorrow. After I got done training I decided to go over to the store I will be working at (the offices, store and warehouse are all in the same building). First impressions were bad. The store even being small was destroyed there was stuff everywhere and most of it wasn't anywhere it belonged. Not to mention shelves had product scattered everywhere. The store is actually about the same size as my small apartment, this is mostly due to the warehouse being connected. I estimate at least two weeks if not more to get the store straightened out.
So I walked the store floor and even with 6 people working not one person greeted me. I could have literally grabbed stuff off a shelf and walked out and no one would have noticed. I then walked up to one of the people behind the counter, introduced myself and asked if the manager (who I know from the previous job) was around. I was just told "no". No hello nice to meet you or anything.
Then there is the commute, the one highway I have to take to get there is notorious for people driving terrible. I would say on average there is at least 2-3 major accidents on this highway every day. It is scattered but it causes a huge backup when they happen. I was almost in about 12 minor accidents because these people lose their minds when they get on this particular highway.
If tomorrow night doesn't go well, I will be abandoning ship and finding something else.
