Previous employer screwed me over and now I can’t find a job.

Not a whole lot that I can see being done about it now but my previous employer told a company that I already had a job offer from, that I'm unreliable and that I call out regularly which ended up losing me the new job. I'm moving cities and because of this I'm now scrambling to find a job that pays enough to support my family. I'm having to move in with my parents and have my family (2 adults, 2 kids and a baby) sleep in their living room. I've already talked to an attorney and they basically told me I can't do anything about it. This all from a job that I worked 60 hours a week at, was lied to about my pay structure when I was hired, the owner talked down to me and acted like I was stupid even though his revenue doubled with me…

This all from a job that I worked 60 hours a week at, was lied to about my pay structure when I was hired, the owner talked down to me and acted like I was stupid even though his revenue doubled with me running his shop. I told him I was moving, 90 days in advance, to be closer to family and he told me that was stupid, and wouldn't let me take days off to interview in this other city. He even told me that I wasn't taking care of my family if I was taking days off. That job was so toxic that after a year of working there I've developed severe anxiety and depression, and now he's causing me anxiety even not working for him.

I'm getting really tired of the owner class having so much power over our lives.
