I do appreciate this advice. It is certainly one path I could take, and given the situation stays the same, probably will take.

I do believe there is hope for reconciliation here, but if not, you are correct that I shouldn't let my ties to the company be something I can't shake off.

If your parents want to build out more stuff for the company, consider starting a separate entity and then selling whatever you build as SaaS to them, and use them as guinea pigs to perfect your product, and then sell it to more companies that are similar. That would be a good way to stay connected but stop the bleeding & give you ownership.

This is good advice. It sounds like your involvement was largely undocumented, so I'm guessing you don't have any non-competes to deal with.

Maybe start the same company all over again and go after your old customers. See how Pop handles that one.
