I once had a job like that, though my situation wasn't quite as bad as yours. The job started out well and then went sour when they hired a new manager. After years of 70-hour weeks, I couldn't remember what a decent job was like, nor could I imagine a job being better elsewhere.
When I finally did make the jump to a new position, I landed in a great company, with a great manager, and everything turned around.
One thing I'd advise, now that you're in a better place, is to try to work past the resentment. As long as you carry that in your heart, the old boss still has a hold on you. It'll take time to get it out of your system, but do try to get it out. You'll find that a more positive and productive attitude creeps in to the space that resentment once occupied, and your level of happiness goes up another notch.
In case you're interested, I posted about that job gone sour at https://sheprador.com/2022/04/worst-manager-ever/ https://sheprador.com/2022/04/worst-manager-ever/. The guy wasn't mean. He just didn't care. And writing the post made me laugh.
