Answer:

If you are worried about what kind of reference you will get from your old boss, you can always politely ask whether or not you are safe using her as a reference. Unless your former boss is crazy or malicious, she is unlikely to be so committed to thwarting your job search that she would lie to you about this. But if you do not trust her to be candid with you, you can have someone else call and do a reference check on you. There are companies you can hire for that, but there is nothing that says you can't have a friend do it for you for free.
