Mothers who had children young.

If you had a child at a young age id say teen to early 20's how did your friendships change with your friends who didn't have children? I'm 18 and when I found out I was pregnant my best friend turned her back on me she made comments saying she wishes I didn't chose to keep my baby and didn't hang out with me that much it made me very sad. Also she said things about my relationship. And now she's come around to the idea that my son is coming and and tries to be supportive and wants to hang out but I've kind of distanced myself from her. And I think it's because my priorities have changed and she doesn't understand that. She smokes a lot and takes prescription pills and drinks. And before I got pregnant I smoked and drank occasionally but now that I have a baby coming all smoking and drinking just isn't for me and I don't like being around it. After my son comes I'll probably have a drink occasionally but I won't be the party girl I was before. My and my boyfriend knew we were giving that up to start a family. I honestly feel like having the child in some ways has changed me for the better. My other friends went off to college we talk occasionally but not often. Which I expected that to happen we weren't that close in high school. I've met a new friend who is my age and she has a two year old and we get along really well and I feel like we both have the motherly thing going on so I've been clinging to her. Did anyone else drift away from there old friends? Did you make new ones? I feel like I'm pushing people away but I can't help that I have a baby coming and I'm very excited to be a mom. And I have responsibilities
