Thread: I feel like I'm being selfish...

I posted a thread a couple of months ago explaining that my best friend found out she was pregnant and that the situation she was in wasn't good. Well as of last week the situation has gotten even worse, the father of her child just told her that he got another girl pregnant and is due about a month after she is and that he has had another girlfriend on the side besides the one who just found out shes pregnant.

They never had a real relationship, but when my friend told him she was pregnant he made her all kinds of promises about getting them a house and doing this and that and now she is totally crushed. I'm trying to be there for her as much as possible, but I'm finding myself getting easily frustrated with her...For one I told her not to count on him and she said she wasn't, and I have tried to help her find a job and help make her situation better, but she doesn't seem to want to take any advice, or try to do anything to better her situation because in reality she was counting on him to handle everything, and now she has no plan. The second frustrating thing is that since she found out about all this she has been hanging out with some of her old friends from high school, and i understand she needs a support system right now, but why take support from people who weren't there for her until they heard about the baby? Myself and one other person have been her main friends for the last 3 years and have been with her through all kinds of ups and downs, yet she is constantly with these girls, who in my eyes are only around now, so they can say "my friend is pregnant"...the final thing is that last year was the worst year of my life, I lost my job, got into a lot of trouble and just made bad decisions, but I have been on a really solid path since the begining of the year, and have been free of any trouble or drama, I'm in school and working and I feel like this pregnancy and the drama thats coming along with it is dragging me down a lot.

She is expecting me to drop everything the second she needs me, and I just can't afford to let my life go, simply because she messed her life up. And part of me is really resenting her right now and that makes it hard for me to be the best friend I can be to her, and that makes me feel really guilty, because if I drop her now I'll be no better than any of her old friends and I usually pride myself on being the best friend anyone could ask for. This situation has just thrown me for a loop..

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to help the situation?
