Dress code for a zoom interview? Is a blazer necessary?

I was a stay at home mom for 10 years; had 4 children & helped my husband build a decent non legal business. I started my PI practice at end of 2019. I did great in 2020. Unexpectedly I developed inappropriate feelings for a mentor over zoom. We decided to stop working together and started therapy. I faced my horrible childhood trauma, gained confidence and realized how terrible my marriage is. Husband admits mistreating me & regrets taking advantage but thinks I’m unfair for wanting a divorce.

I was onboarded during the pandemic, and it's been rough. There is a great deal of institutional support (loa, flextime, health resources) but the managers themselves haven't adapted to the fact that a new joined need facetime (or zoom time) and mentorship. In 2019 I interned here and while the hours were still long, I wasn't banging my head against the wall trying to figure out answers from multi-layered ambiguity.

Have other folks had similar problems? What can I do to improve this situation?
