Interesting. Do you really feel it was forced onto you? It is hard to know whether or not your boss's rules were too much. You state in universals, that she ruled "Everything from how you did your work to how you behaved" but without context it is hard to judge whether this was right or wrong.
I guess we all get to decide whether we want a particular job or not. We get to decide to walk away if we find ourselves in an experience not of our liking. In that you had choice. If I were you, I'd own that choice and feel good about it.
I wonder, are you now in a job more of your liking? I hope so.
Thanks for contributing and responding to the question. I will be writing a post later for The Drop in the Ocean show over on the Buddy Up server in Discord. It starts at 8 pm UTC and this question and all the responses will be discussed. I am therefore very grateful to you for sharing your experience with me.
Thanks for the reply. I seldom get replies for the answer I write. Really appreciate it. I wanted to quit early on but I decided to just see if it was me who had the problem of not being able to stick or it was the boss. It was tough having this type of torture. At 3am the boss would sometimes whatapps me with unpleasant stuff.
Now I am enjoying my life with freedom included. I am more of a freelancer and have survived for about a year now.

Wow! That sure gives a greater degree of context. Your ex boss was definitely overstepping the boundaries of a working relationship.
Glad you got out and you are finding your way in freelancing. Brave move!
