In need of a friend!!!

I am a little down today! First off I was in a long distance relationship I took a job where he lived in August so that we would be closer. However I am the youngest person at my job and have made very few friends. I'm nine hours from my hometown. So now that I am pregnant my friends back home are always busy my boyfriend although excited annoys the crap out of me so I at my apartment and he is at his apartment mad because I refused to argue about who was right or wrong in a situation earlier today. My mom didn't call for fear of discussing the baby because my dad might hear and he disapproves. I am so concerned with having a healthy baby that I don't want to hang on to this but I am really disappointed in my loved ones! It bad enough I am terrified of the unknown as this is my first child I really could use a solid support system. Does anyone share these emotions?

Thanks ladies I'm feeling a little better my bf did call to check on me and the baby and to apologize for earlier. My little brother called as well and told some funny stories about his girlfriends so which helped a lot. I just got to remember to not think so much about the ones that arent apart of this journey and cherish the one that are.

I don't have many people I can call friends for when I moved in with my boyfriend (now husband) we lost touch. They were too busy I was busy and we just had a hard time hanging out and keeping in touch. As for my family they never approved of my husband so we just stopped talking all together. Trust me when I had moved in with him there were a couple of nights that I cried because I missed my mom and being around my noisy family. I quickly got over it because if they really wanted me to be in their lives they would make an effort and a least put up a front in front of my husband. Now I'm 26-4 weeks and it's just me and my husband. Yes we have friend that are in common but it's just mostly us all the time. I"ve learned to trust him as my best friend and he is always there for me when I need help. Maybe you should tell your boyfriend how you feel. He might not understand but its worth giving things a try.

I don't have a similar situation with much of that except for the work thing. I am one of the youngest in my work place and to make it even harder I'm in a higher up position then women older then me who have worked there longer  then I have so it's hard to connect with them when I have to tell them what to do and they resent me for my age. As for the boyfriend stuff, good on you for not arguing, arguing always makes things worse and sometimes all.you need is some time apart to think things through. As for your mom, not  to be rude but that's just ridiculous, can't she just go into another room or step outside to have a conversation with you? You need your mother  and she should be there for your regardless of you dads.disapproval. I'm sorry you're having such a crappy day, maybe you can unwind and watch a funny movie with some yummy munchies? Or call your bf over and try to forget about the fight. Chin up buttercup!
