[quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds like you need a wake up call.  You say you're in therapy and yet you also say you're always venting to your therapist and to DH and talking about it a lot.  So what work have you actually done in therapy?  Going to therapy means nothing if you're not doing the work required.

So here is the tough love.  You're thinking of uprooting your entire family over your jealousy.  That's insane.  Your jealousy and desperation to feel validated and good enough have not gone unnoticed by your daughter.  Why do you think she keeps going over to the neighbor's house even though the girl is mean to her?  Because she's looking for validation too.  You're completely blind if you think your own issues haven't gone unnoticed to your daughter.

so instead of uprooting their lives because you can't get your stuff together, either put in the hard work the therapist or get a new therapist.  Then you need to teach your daughter how to stick up for herself.  This desperate need for validation and continuously putting yourself in situations where you're treated badly can be A LOT worse than just a neighbor girl and her friend ignoring you.  [/quote]
