Anita – I’m not sure if jealous is the right word. It was more like disappointment in my boyfriend. That he trust what they say and believe those (bad) things they say about me and I feel betrayed because he should know me better than that. He cared a lot of what they think of him or his relationship.
But yes, growing up I did feel a lot of jealousy and envy towards my younger sibling because everyone gave her more attention and care and I felt I lacked affection from them.
But I do understand and realized it could be attachment trauma. The problem is I don’t know what I could do to heal or overcome it. I would prefer not going to a therapist because of financial issue at the moment.
