Dinah - Have you ever looked, even casually, to see what might be out there? Have you figured out what those benefits are worth to you (dollars and cents) and then tried to figure out how much it might cost you to replicate them, or for that matter, to do without them or with a lesser version of them?

I'm the master at staying rooted forever in a job which plays real havoc with my mental health, but I also live in an area where there aren't many alternatives which wouldn't be equally as stressful. It seems to me that you have skills which could be attractive to a lot of different employers and types of businesses.

The thought of going out and trying to convince someone else to hire me is genuinely terrifying and the thought of bringing new energy to a new job when I have so little energy is daunting. I'm sure you're plagued by some of the same fears. However, it may be worth it to figure out how to get by a just a bit less and it may be worth it to test the market a bit.

Without trying to be too critical to your T, I'm sure his view of this is colored by the numbers of times you've convinced him that finding other employment is not an option. Given the fact that you're in a frame of mind now of really wanting the time to do some different things, this may not be a bad time at all to revisit the issue.
