would you consider moving to obtain another job? you sound like you are passionate about your work, and you want to be successful in it. for many people that could require relocating, which might be difficult depending on your circumstances, but could be well worth it in the end. it sounds like you need to get away from this situation in which you feel devalued and causes you to end your day in tears - it sounds truly awful. you deserve to have success and a fulfilling career, especially with your passion and experience.
I've started to look. There aren't many suitable job postings in my area. Previously I haven't seriously considered relocation but now I'm willing to consider it.

I would prefer not to have to relocate for family reasons but it may be my only option to get 'ahead' in my career.
