I seriously think actual depression has kicked in......its bad

I'm 18 years old got pregnant at 17, me and my mom never had a close relationship. when I told her I was pregnant she did everything for me...we got so close...I was so happy, but now, she won't call me...she won't text me...for a day or two and that may not be long...but I'll admit, I'm not grown, I still want my mother. badly. and I've expressed it to her.  shes really involved in alcohol and shes slowed down so she can help me...but whenever I ask her for the simplest of favors she says no. but when my little sister (16) asks for big favors,  she jumps at them...and she'll call her... and stuff.  I don't have many friends, I sit at home I'll go out to exercise but that's it. the baby's father is 24. Not in the photo BUT my mother is with his father! (grandpa of my son)... so it brings up so much drama. but I just cry every single night and ALL I want is my mom to just hug me...thats it. tell me she loves me...and its Killing me guys. so so bad. And I keep expressing it to her. But nothing....

it has nothing to do with doing things for myself. she was never around ive been getting myself places, buying everything I need and feeding myself since I was 16, before that I lived with my grandparents... its the love I never had, that she gave me and took away once more that I enjoyed and want. of course she was stressed about the kid, but she seems pretty excited by the way she brags about it to everyone in town
