Why is it that my friends seem to back away from me when I am trying to better myself for my family? I am working on myself and my business so that I can provide more for my kids. Why does everyone seem to get angry with me or ignore me... I dont understand. I alway feel proud of my friends when they accomplish a goal or do well in their career.

If you make friends you have something in common which mostly is your life style. If your life style is changing it's normal your friends will change too, unless their life style is changing in the same direction as yours is. It's the same btw with our life partner. If you change but he/she is not, then you won't fit together any longer. This is normal plus (according to me) life is about improving yourself, about changing, about gathering new experiences.

Making the decision to better yourself is never easy, and having those around you not supporting you makes it even harder. Hang in there. When you get to a place that you are truly happy, you will find people to support who you are, and hopefully those that have turned away will see the errors of their ways. Good Luck!

Hi
dear Dana, you should not worry if they don´t understand you they are not your real friends. A friend stands beside you always.There are some special lines of The Quijote. Sancho says to his master " Master the dogs are barking to us" and the Quijote answers "Of course, this means that we are moving on".
When we move forward many people complaints, criticize, envies.
You are moving forward in your life. Don´t be ashamed if you are doing worthy things. 
Blessings Dana... dainy

Friendship, like all relationships, need to be nourished. Sure there are people who would say that they're still you're friend even if you don't spend time together, but that relationship would just be a superficial friendship.
For someone to be a real friend, you would have to cultivate the relationship. You need to spend time with your friends to build a tighter relationship. If you don't they will definitely drift away.
