Arrange to take a month off - completely away from work - and then return, hopefully refreshed and walking back into an environment where some of the issues have been removed.
If possible, arrange a suitable break in your engagement; they may appreciate the budget saving they make from not having you on site for 4-5 weeks and can plan to wrap up your current work in the next 3-6 weeks accordingly. Obviously not all clients appreciate that you're still a human being but if you've got a good relationship with them, they'll hopefully understand.

If you have to go then a polite mail advising of the situation and that you will honour the notice period of X days. Thank you very much and goodnight.
Make sure you understand who to give notice is and what the period is.
You will just have to let it play out and see what the fall out is.
If NWP2C is on her should be able to give you a ton of real world advice.Last edited by northernladuk; 4 August 2016, 17:57.

On the surface of it I would rule a return gig out, if you are going to leave them in the lurch.
