Hello I’m new to this, but really wanted to give it a try!
I had my first child 2 years just about three years ago! Wow where did the time go, anyways once I got pregnant and we told our close friends and family they were all very excited! We were the first couple in our group of friends to have a baby. We liked to party and hang out with little responsibility That would change!
The pregnancy part was okay, since I was now the DD with in our cicrle of friends. They all seemed to enjoy talking about the baby that was on the way and what it would be like.
Baby comes! What an experience that is all in its own! We quickly found out that the people who always said they would be there to help support and visit soon became nil.
Our friends put up certain barriers and couldn’t understand why we couldn’t come partying at their place any more or why they had to be quiet at ours.
The realization that people could just stop talking to you or messaging you because you decided to create another life and were enjoying every step of the way was something very hard to understand, but above all it hurt!
Things only got better for us just about a year ago welcoming our second child!
This time it brought upon it more friendship complications as my husband was to be in a wedding around our due date. That was 5 hours away from our home and place of delivery for our baby! I’ve never had people check in with my so much as the couple that was getting married. They were hoping baby would arrive before their date. Well like a champ our baby arrived the Friday night and the wedding was on Saturday!
Ever since that wedding things have just not been the same with our friendship, we don’t talk or message like we use to or really talk at all.
I have learned through this experience that you need to life your life and not count on others because at the end of the day who knows if they are going to be there for you!
The path of life leads in many different directions and some paths can go no further…
We recently attended an event where the married couple was at after not seeing them for 8 months it was interesting to see how everyone has grown and changed.
The hurt is sometimes the hardest to over come.
Thanks for reading
