Boss has me do chores around his house

Ok so I install farm fencing. I have worked there since 2006. I use to run the company, two workers and myself an boss was on job sight, until my boss got cancer an passed away. His brother took over the company an now it's just me an him an I'm now just a laborer again even though I know more about fencing than he does. He has been running the company for 6yrs now. A year after he took over he tried to hire another helper an hired somebody who knew nothing an started them off making what I was making. This went through me an I let him know but he didn't care. I get paid cash daily as self employed. I just recently got a raise of $25 a day. I use to get bonuses if we got the job done quicker than expected but that quit.…


Ok so I install farm fencing. I have worked there since 2006. I use to run the company, two workers and myself an boss was on job sight, until my boss got cancer an passed away. His brother took over the company an now it's just me an him an I'm now just a laborer again even though I know more about fencing than he does. He has been running the company for 6yrs now. A year after he took over he tried to hire another helper an hired somebody who knew nothing an started them off making what I was making. This went through me an I let him know but he didn't care. I get paid cash daily as self employed. I just recently got a raise of $25 a day. I use to get bonuses if we got the job done quicker than expected but that quit. I use to bust my butt in hopes of making more money but after doing it for 6yrs before I got a raise I quit trying. The boss complains he's not making any money but doesn't realize I use to run the company an know what the jobs pay. He has been making around $1500-2000 a week on most jobs, an more on some. He says he only pays himself what he pays me an the rest goes to the company, but there is no company. We don't even have a company name an never get any new tools. Now I have to meet him at his house an get everything ready( load equipment, make sure we have what supplies we need in work truck, ect) then I have to feed all his horses, he has 12. He says his wife is getting to old to be doing it or in the winter he says she doesn't need to be out in the cold. Also some days instead of building fence he has me work around his house cleaning horse stalls an the barn or cutting grass or raking leaves, ect. I use to love my job cause being a veteran with PTSD I don't like being around alot of people an this job kept me in the woods or open fields away from people. Now since he took over I hate my job. I want to get a different job but I'm afraid it won't work out because of my PTSD. I have anxiety an anger issues. I just wish I could enjoy going to work again but that's not going to happen where I'm at. My job officially is depressing now.
