re: I just quit my job

Any offer to stay by your current employer needs to come via a formal offer with guaranteed commitments - not promises. Otherwise, leave.
I just accepted early retirement after 25 years leading various entities of a large business - everyone is replaceable. Do what will make you the most money, provide the best benefits, lower stress, fewer hours and take care of your family.

1 Take the new job for the many reasons stated above. Overall quality of life, including your health, will improve too.
2 Thank your current employer for the opportunity and don't look back. Don't burn bridges because your paths will cross again.

Sounds like you’re making the correct decision.
If I’m in your shoes I’d be sure to be nice and cordial to current employer but let them know this is simply a business decision for security of income in these uncertain times.
Let them know you’re available for consultation or assistance and if they really care they’ll counter with similar pay and structure to that pay.
Lots of folks talk about leaving and burning the place down but I personally know way too many stories of people leaving and later returning to sweeter deals than they left for in the first place.

40-45 hours per week vs. 60-65 hours per week.
Obviously at 900 per month for family health insurance, you have a boat load of kids.
It's a quality of life issue.
The answer is leave regardless and hope 40-45 isn't a lie.

You always take the guarantee over the promise. Salary and benefits alone are worth it. Because any company that’s going to “promise” you compensation isn’t really serious about it. If they were, it wouldn’t be a “promise.”

Wait for a counter and if not, just take the new job.

I went to my Dr before I talked with my now former boss. For the first time in my life, I had elevated blood pressure. This job can be the only reason.
I am now technically unemployed as of Thursday. My boss told me that if I couldn't handle the stress of the last job (which in his words was "nothing") then, I could definitely not handle the stress of the jobs they have coming up.
I have multiple offers from other companies, and I'm doing background checks on all of them with my friends who regularly do business with them before I decide.
I'd love to tell yall details about my past employer, but I'd need to speak with Wednesday (or another TD lawyer) before I do that. I don't know how sticky NDA's can really be.

Sorry to sound so insulting, but people who post the question "what should I do?" on-line, to a bunch of strangers are either narcissists or they don't have any friends.
Pose this question to someone you actually know and respect.
Also, just consider your own overall happiness and which company might fit that vision best.

You can and absolutely should refuse it. They have to know they were woefully under-compensating so either:
1) They didn’t want to pay you market (and will only keep you around until they can find a replacement at a wage they’re comfortable with) or
2) They actually can’t afford to pay you that much and will keep you around until they find someone they can truly afford.
Either way, the counter offer isn’t because they want to keep you long-term. Take the new job.

You're not insulting. But you're 100% wrong. What better place to get honest opinions than a board who knows nothing about the total situation.
Family and friends will always skew to your side.
This board will tear you apart and once you dig thru the bullshite, you will get an honest answer

I did. It was promises of company ownership and compensation of 500k and more. No guarantees for any compensation.
I have 3-4 companies that are currently courting me which guarantee plenty.
It's been nice getting an outside perspective (bad, good, and overbearing) that I would have never gotten from my own personal cheer section.

And any true friend would give you an opinion with your best interest in mind...nothing wrong with that. Your question involves so many nuance factors, that only someone close to you could know:
wife/girlfriend/kids?
work from home/ office/ the road?
friends at work?/ relationship with boss?
your age?/ personal financial concerns?
and so on and so on
