Hi my name is Kristine. I'm 18 and have a 5 month old son and he means the world to me. I just need a shoulder to cry on. I seriously have no friends anymore and it's mostly due to my son's father. First, you have to know he is 16 and just got out of a juvi prison (not detention center, prison). He was locked up a couple weeks after I got pregnant and got out 3 months after our son was born. For about a week and a half, he was so dedicated to his son and me. Then he started to get in touch with some of our friends. Apparently these people weren't the friends I thought they were, because they told him that I was sleeping with other people while he was gone and that I was snorting coke while I was pregnant. Neither is true, but he and the rest of my friends believed these couple of people, and now I'm all alone. I hate everything that's happening to me. The only thing keeping me alive is my son. Me and my mom are close, but I can't talk to her about this because she never liked my friends to begin with, and all she says is I told you so. I just need someone. Please.

Hello there and Welcome. I think that you will find a ton of friends here and a lot of shoulder to cry on. I am so sorry for what has happened to you and I think that in time it will get better. I know the feeling of having not a lot to live for other than your child. But like I said slowly but surely it shall get better. Don't listen to anything anyone says about you that isn't true, they just have nothing better going on in there lives so they like to meddle in others. Good Luck and I hope we hear from you soon.

hello,
well on the brighter note now you know that they arent your true friends and you dont want those kind anyways! you win either way when it comes to a joy in your life. take this as a new clean slate in life. im sure they arent going far in life....not to be rude but your babies dad went to jail what have they been doing? do you want that really deep down or GOOD TRUE FRIENDS. those are the ones that stick with you no matter what is said or done. think of this whole step in life on a bright note...why damper yourself you are only going to take a step back then forward bcs in the long run you are going to have to get over the hard situations you cannot change. and if you let these friends back in they will do it again!!! you have a free ticket out. your baby will need positive people around not liars! your mom will always be there no matter what she says..i told you so... well then take it as now in the future you will listen to her. I HOPE YOU FIND THE WORLD WITHIN THIS NEW LIFE YOU ENTERED...BEST OF LUCK PRIVATE MESSAGE ME IF YOU EVER WANT TO TALK!!!

Hi my name is Alisha. Don't worry you are not alone, I am alone too.It seems my parents don't even care about me. They don't do anything for me or my baby. Everything I have,I have gotten on my own(besides my car).I supply my baby with what she need. I bascially raised me and my baby while I was only 12. The father of both of my babies disappeared when I told him I was pregnant with our second. I haven't heard from him. And now me and my four year old are sick and all day long she cries for daddy. Between the last four years I have had alot of so-called friends but when it all boils down I only have 2 that have stayed by my side and that have been there with me and my baby. I have been around so many people who have calimed to be my friend and then turns around and talk about me and my baby. I was kicked out of my old school because chics would give me snotty looks because I had a baby at home. That is why I learned to hold my head up high no matter what others say. And I think you should do the same. Big Grin

I know the feeling of having no friends and being alone to raise my child. I was there at 18 with a newborn. my ex was never in prison but should have been (just never got caught at anything L) but between him, his family and my so called best friends I was betrayed and left alone. I'm 26yrs now i've weathered a few bad years of being a single mom but i made it through so far.

Heres so advice from me just hold your head high and believe in yourself. You know that there is nothing to be ashamed of because you did nothing wrong. Just be a good mom to your child. By the way try talking to your mom. I was and still am close to my mom. Like your mom my mom felt the same way about my friends when i was younger. But she did listen to me when I needed some one the most.

Good luck to you.

My momma can't stand to be in the same room as me for 5 minutes. I just know won't talk to me. My dad, we talk every now and then. And when I come home from school none is there.
My daily routines:
I wake up get dress
Get Erika up and dressed (she eats breakfast)
I drop her off
I drive my car the my bus stop
Go to school
Go pick Erika up from school Or go to work
Go home get started on my homewrok
Cook dinner
get ready for the next day
Bathe
Go to bed
And during my day my parents either work overtime or they just don't come home.And that is howcome I have been raising me and my daughter since I was 12 years old and now I about to raise another child. I acn't raise another. I suggested abortion to Eric and we both broke down into tears. Frowner

First of all, all those "friends" weren't friends. I lost all my "friends" when I became pregant because they were all turning 21 and wanted to go out drinking. I had no want to do that. My son is now two and I have finally realized that now I have the best friends ever. I have three men who are very active in my life and my son's also. They were there before me getting pregant, through it and now for two years of his life. I have just realized that friends are there through everything not when it is conveinent for them.. stick with it girl, you will find true friends. and take every little minute you have with your child and cherish it. That is worth more than what your friends can give you.

Hey, my name is Brennan and I know exactly how you feel. I have an almost 4 month old son and I feel very alone too. Yesterday I felt so depressed all I did was cry. I love my son and would so anything for him don't get me wrong..but this single parenting thing is hard. I am not with the father of my son, he cheated on me while i was pregnant and we broke up. A lot of my friends are still in highschool (I'm only 16, graduated a year and a half early) and it's like they say they want to hang out..but I never get calls. Yesterday when I was feeling so bad I had no one to talk to and it was killing me. I know waht you mean when you say the only reason to live is for your child. I often want to make bad decisions like go drinking or something else to make me feel better but I know it would be bad for my son. I need someone to talk to also sometimes. Feel free to E-mail me or IM me anytime you want...bre4205*aol.*** ..screen name:bre4205
