Sorry, last reply for now, I should have bunched all of these into the same single post... She is not meek at all with my father, on the contrary, she doesn't listen to him at all. She tries to bully him on everything and his solution is to tune her out (he told me this a while ago, that he just lets her talk but "tunes her out"). He also hides things from her until the last minute, like business trips she'll object to. And he has given up on various things that require accord between them, like renovating the house.
