Definitely quit - work to find something that you are comfortable with as a replacement, replace it then quit. I have been there. I worked for my step mother in the beginning of my career. I learned a lot but my growth was most definitely stunted. I then moved into a consultant role which she helped place for me, and that family environment was more of the same. There was random competition and jealously and it spilled over into my regular job. I felt trapped because this was connected to my family, but I eventually got up the nerve to quit. It hasnt always been gold at the botto of the rainbow, but I felt immediate relief and and very happy to be on my own path.
