[quote=Anonymous]OP, this reminded me of a book I bought when my DD was just a toddler, “Dear Girl.” One of the pages literally reads “Dear girl, you won’t be invited to every single party on the planet. (Which is really okay. Can you imagine how exhausting that would be?)” You need to chill out and act cool. Your insecurity is affecting your DD. I understand your feelings and even your DD’s. I wasn’t a popular kid, nor mom. But I’ve never done anything that you did because I recognized that it would just make things much worse. By the end, I came to realize that when I stopped being so attentive (to a degree that borderlines obsessive) to DD’s social life, she actually blossomed into a much tougher and more resilient child.
