2 years ago I had a good job was in steady relationship and had lots of good friends on cloud 9 realy. Now I am unemployed due to recession, my g/f is expecting our first child and now I am panicking about how to support him/her. My family and hers are just leaving us to it no help at all. My friends now avoid me I think because of the baby. I used to be on anti-depressants but grew terribly addicted and dont want to go down that path again. Just realy want some advice from people who have been through something similar

when i found out i was pregnant i had no job, i didnt have a stable place to live, how to change a diaper.
if your not getting any help from your family, theyre probably trying to prove a point. hopefully when the baby is born & they see that cut little face, feet, fingers....etc they will have a change of hear.
i had to sleep on my moms plastic couch, and my son slept in a bassinett.
i had to deal with my life long depression, been mentally & physically abused by my pop. my mom mind wasnt all that great. i didnt have any help. i was on public assistance for a while. but when my son was 9 months i got my own studio apartment, then a one bedroom, then a two bedroom. when he was 5 yeas old i bought a duplex and i had a tenant paying rent.
so be positive. i didnt have anything in the begining. at least yall have each other. i hardly had any help from my son's father.
