I informed my boss that i would be leaving in 4 months to move and follow my fiance to his new job in arizona, which is across the country. she got very upset and immediately fired me! i was turned down for unemployment because of her, and now every time i interview for a new job i am told that my previous employer gave me an extremely bad reference and that they did not want to hire me because of it.

it is a small privately-owned restaurant and i worked there for 2 years, so i feel obligated to list her as my most recent employer and she is always inevitably phoned for a reference. i have been looking for jobs both where i live now and for prospective jobs to where i will be moving, but i wont be getting to my new home until this summer. i feel as though i gave my boss adequate notice and i had never had any complaints from her before i told her of my plans.

what should i do? my former boss is making it impossible for me to survive. i can't collect unemployment and she refuses to give me a good reference for a new job. im so stuck, please help! :(
