You are the CREATOR of your own experiences...W notwithstanding. If the job isn't paying you well, I'd dust off the resume and get it ready for the next one. I've left jobs that do not meet my criteria and have nabbed better ones.
Now, listen up....you better get yourself centered FAST. Because the chit will definitely hit the fan in all directions when your FIL passes away. The way I am looking at this sitch is that your W is playing a role for her father by being this "good girl" to him and doing whatever he tells her.
When he's gone, then what? Exactly. I am telling you it won't be pretty at all. Not saying that you need to rescue your W when that happens. But more concerned for your daughters.
Actions you take today will most assuredly affect your future with your daughters. If I were you, I'd start looking for a better paying job with a steady income. You are pushing 50 and need to think about your financial future (as well as your daughters).
Believe me when I say this: I am not trying to add pressure to you. Just tellin' it straight here so you can make concrete plans for yourself.
Heck, I think you can do W's job and do it 10x better.
