Is 23 to old to start over?

It’s never too late to start over. I was 21 years old, homeless and pregnant with my first born son. I moved to a different state to live with my mom. I enrolled in college, started dating an amazing guy, and here I am almost 32 with 4 kids and my own place making decent money.

You are still young and have a full life in front of you. Like most everyone said its never too late to start something😁 school, relationships, job ect… do what is best for you and your child. If you can move back with your parents for a bit to get back on your feet…do it❤

You’re going to be one of the younger students! Excellent decision to go back. Be VERY clear about your degree plan, and stick to it. Counselors are available on campus. Today may be via computer…virtual…I don’t know. Just go for it with laser focus, work hard, be grateful to your mom and dad, and remember the positive example you are teaching your baby. (I used to go to enrollment with a kid on my hip, and holding hands with the other. I was 40 years old.) :heavy_heart_exclamation:

DO IT!!! It doesn’t matter how old you are; Do what is best for yourself & your kiddo! You deserve to be happy & your child will be happier seeing you happy & thriving. --not to mention your child doesn’t need to grow up thinking that awful relationships/men is acceptable!

Throw in the towel old maid

Your just starting life. 23 is so young. Do it now or you’ll kick yourself in the ass later. I waited until I was 32 with 4 kids And I felt like life was over but it was the best decision I could have ever made just wish I wouldn’t have waited 10 years. I then stayed single for 5 years and enjoyed life and found myself. You have 2 choices stay and be miserable or leave and be happy.

I moved back in with my mom and step dad at 25 with 2 kids :joy: if your parents are supportive and will welcome you back in the do it. You’re never to old to get some help, specially from parents :woman_shrugging:t3:

Go home and make the life you deserve for you and your child. Prayers for you!

It’s never too late! In fact, you’re still very young with your entire life ahead! The fact that you have your parents there to help is such a blessing! I was a single mom at 27 with no family support, working full time and going to school. I had to change my career path to finish sooner in order to provide for this little one. I graduated nursing school at 33 y/o! You can do this! And do it now! Regardless of how the relationship goes, you need to do this for yourself and the baby so that you never have to be “stuck” depending on anyone! Blessings to you! You CAN do this!

You are most definitely not too old to start over. I got divorced at 29 (with 3 kids - ages 4 years , 1.5 years and 6 months). I moved back to my parents for 4.5 years! I completely changed my career, started studying 2 years after the divorce. Completed a 4 year degree (LLB) and am currently busy with my articles at the age of 37. I was also blessed with a second marriage and have never looked back.

You are still very young with your whole life ahead of you. Choose a better life.

Definitely not too old. I started over at 24 and I put myself through school to become a medical assistant, have a great paying job, got a newer car, and paid off all debt. It will be hard and you will have days where you just cry. but remember the end result and just know you can do this!

never ever to old to do better.
You got this

It is never to late to start over again or to do something you always wanted to do or to go to school. I think that’s it’s wonderful you and your kids deserve better!! I wish you luck !! One day you will look back at this and say why didn’t I do it sooner and you will feel accomplished and better about yourself.

23 too late? Girl 23 is too early. At that age I was busy with college and parties.
So no, not late at all. I got married at 26 the first time and went through a situation like yours. I filed for divorce at 30 graved my little one and made it all on my own, I gave my daughter love, stability, therapy and try to co parent in a peaceful manner with her dad establishing visitation days and times…
A few years later I met my wonderful now husband and the love of my life and married him ( I honestly wasn’t expecting to fall in lovr ever again and I didn’t mind being a single mom… I didn’t even feel desire to date but love happened when my heart healed) this time, in my 30s love was different and more mature and I think I definitely made better choices than in my 20s (like picking a decent, loyal, respectful man) We are going strong ( married for 7 years now) and we have 2 more kids (yes, I was still able to have 2 kids in my late 30s). He is an amazing dad for our children and unbelievable stepdad to my daughter.
Don’t stay in a relationship with someone who is not mature and committed. Worry about being the best mom you can be. Work hard, get therapy for you and your child ( therapy is awesome I recommend it to everybody)
Everything will be ok. You are capable and it is hard to have a broken heart and going through divorce but trust me. You can do it!

Never ever too late! You’d be crazy not to start again.

Sounds like u have a really large support group here…what are u waiting for? Go show your child what your willing to do to give them a better life!! Much love and many prayers for your new adventure!

You’ll have to talk to your parents to see if they will let you move back in. If they say yes then go for it! If they say no then you will have to do some research to see what your options are. Best of Luck to you!

I did all my ag certs and finally got a really awesome job I loved, found out I was pregnant with twins at 22, not long after that found out he was cheating on me with one of my closest friends at the time (that’s a very very loose overview) so at 23 with new born twins I packed up and moved to the other end of the country to be closer to my family and started all over again.
You can do it.

Your never to old to make a better life for you and your child. Good luck to you! Follow your plans

The awesome thing about life aging is we’ve been there. Wisdom comes from experience once you open your eyes to the REAL of a situation YOU control the narrative.
You’re the teacher of your beautiful daughter n every step you take towards creating a brighter securer future enables you to realize. YOU are the maker of your own destiny. An amazing example for your daughter, to say.
We may falter fumble fall yet the only thing that matters is we rise brush ourselves off n move forward knowing we’re stronger for having had the experience.
ANY steps you take to a future that see you n your beautiful daughter happy is the one you should chase down. Follow your gut it’s never wrong.Good Luck.

REMEMBER to forgive him once maybe even twice is a gift after that if it happens again you’re giving him permission to cheat because he has nothing to lose

I went to nursing school at the age of 29, had just found out I was pregnant two months before school was going to start, set to be a single mother and worked full-time.

My kids all moved back in with me at least once after they were grown … . sometimes for just a few months sometimes up to a year until they got their lives back on track. Parents are suppose to help their birdies fly sometimes they have to return to the nest and try again. That’s just part of LIFE. Just don’t get stale …do what you need to do to get back out on your own as soon as you can get stuff straightened out again and Learn to fly solo AGAIN. Smiles

Never to old to start over. It might be better.

Why couldn’t he invite you out with him…? That’s my thing I don’t mind if my man goes out but at least ask me if I would like to go as well. See if he’s willing to involve you a bit more. If not maybe it’s time to walk away :heart: I wouldn’t suggest going back to your parents as that could lead to more issues.
