Just some friendly advice. Never underestimate the power of nepotism nor overestimate your value as an employee.
I have seen countless business owners make countless shitty business decisions because of "family". You could be the most valuable asset the business has, but a guy's daughter is his daughter. Just sayin.
This might be a good time to ease up on the throttle and just let things cruise for a while. One cannot count on logical decisions being made when women and/or family are involved.

Tread carefully. He’s dangling the carrot in front of you that you may never get. He’s using you.
For all I know his daughter is in on it, honey potting you to keep you in line and working hard.
At some point in time you need to confront him and hammer out what your stake is in this business relationship or you will forever be the worker/slave, and never the owner.

I know your angry about it, but don't be too reactionary either. By all means see what is actually available out there, as others said maybe having that conversation with the owner after a few days to collect your thoughts and get a better promise. Seems like the recent gains I thought you had might still be worth holding onto and be good to benefit from until you get something super solid over time, not just the first thing you jump out to after feeling burned.

1. Are you taking two weeks then quitting? Where is he getting this from
2. Why is he saying "he won't argue this again?"
3. Your response needs to be that in business promises that are not in writing are not promises, they are nothing.

you are way to open and way to emotional in your professional life.

I am aware what can be used against me, hence the lack of response.

1. I was going to take two weeks (I need it at the very least), but I was going to feel out my options. I had connections in Ft. Worth. I do not have any here.
2. The carrot on the stick has been a conversation before. There have been things that keep changing that always go against my favor.
3. When the opportunity arises, I will use this response. I am a fool not to get things in writing because I am a man that keeps my word. I have a hard time understanding that others don’t. I keep falling for it, hoping I’ll find a man as honorable as myself. Again, I am a fool.
