My boss is too emotional and involves her personal feelings in the office. How do I communicate with her?

I'm an accountant and i need to report to her on a daily, weekly, monthly and every time she wants me basis... but if she comes sad from home, she will act horribly and tell me mean things... She also promotes her two stupid daughters, encouraging them to act like all the world was theirs and that everybody in the firm should bow down like peasants in front of them. Do I quit, or do I try to solve the problem?
Answers:
This sounds like a toxic environment and I recommend that you seek new employment. In the meantime, I would document all requests in writing (email is the best) and I would keep a log of things significant things she has said or done, promises made, etc. If/when you leave, she may cause trouble and if you've documented events well with dates, you will protect yourself from any kind of action she might try to take against you.
Look for another job then quit. It is easier to get another job if you are in employment.
Look for another job.

Everyone has their own drama and shouldn't be forced to put up with anyone else's while at work.

She's very unprofessional to be doing the things that she does, and who wants to work for someone like that.
How current is your resume.?
Time to start looking.
Confront her and tell her the problem. Tell her she is just a **** and you were looking for a job when you found this one. She will either fire you or take notice to you. It is better to be honest with yourself then to play her stupid games. It would be the best solution for both of you to lay the cards out on the table and bet the farm right from the start.
Quitting seems like a way out, but you will have to deal with difficult people no matter where you go. If you enjoy your job otherwise, just try to be as sterile and non-emotional as you can when you deal with her or her daughters. Emotional people usually leave people who don't give them a reaction alone.
