Emotional

Catherine

So over the weekend I started to feel a little depressed.. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and I have come to the realization that my family just isn't there for me. I have always been the "good kid" and now that I am about to embark on this new journey with my husband I feel like I have no support. No negative or positive support. I call my mom up and she never answers her phone. I rarely see my dad now that we moved out of his house. I feel he has resentment towards us because it was spur of the moment and we couldn't handle the drama between him and his girlfriend.

My husband has been supportive but he has no idea what to expect or what it's like being a women. His mom is also not really in the picture. Both of us come from families that just aren't there.

My step sisters were giving me a lot of issues too because I planned the baby shower by myself, yet it's almost June and they never once offered to do the baby shower. I feel I have more support from my coworkers, who are planning a work baby shower.

It's hard going through my first pregnancy and not have a mother figure to even talk to about what's going on with my body and life in general....
