Stay there, do nothing, take the paycheck and work on yourself: - brush up on your skills - start / contribute to a few projects, create a portfolio (I don't know what's your work experience) - start applying for jobs <- maybe I should have started with this.

You owe nothing to that company, at the end of the day you're just one name in someone's Excel file, the whole "family at work" trend is something awful that should not have been born, so you better get out of that.

Good luck!

Yes, this. Learn a few new things, then start looking for a remote job on the first company's dime. When you get the new job, prioritize the new job until the old job decides to fire you. But, not before soaking up some sick and vacation time while increasing your savings.
