You can't really communicate with children. I agree with yetanotheracc. Getting up and leaving is the most sane approach with the least stress,

yetanotheracc's comment does not say whether his or her employers behaved like children. If they did you'd expect it to be mentioned.

- "dragged down by work requests"

- "ceased all communications with freelance clients"

- "Not having to participate in the death throes of a company I did not have any stake in"

Sounds like demanding children to me. Maybe I should have used the professional terms: bad managers and bad clients.
