My eldest is 11, seems to always end up as the third wheel in a variety of friendship groups. She always feels left out and excluded and assumes she will be before any things actually happened...
We have had an issue with a best friend controlling her that only came to light in the past year and it turns out she was so scared of her she would do whatever she said when ever she said it... Sad thing is they have been pals for 7 years and I am concerned it may have always been like this..
Anytime she is with her 2 friends who are neighbours she automatically thinks she'll be left out...
How can I make her not behave like the victim all the time, she says that she has no real friends, it breaks my heart and I don't know how to help her not feel like this.
It can be really draining as I'm always thinking not again...
