Is 23 to old to start over?

You are never too old!!!
I went back to college at 44 years old (with two kids in high school) while going through a divorce. After graduating I got a fantastic IT job.

We are start over a few times in our life. Run and don’t look back. It will be better with a few hick ups a long the way and you in charge of your life and your child’s.

Often the things we discover are things your family has known the whole time. They’ll understand and provide what support they can.

Old??? You are a baby‼️I went back for my doctorate in my late 40’s‼️
Run don’t walk to school.
Start working on some self love and self care. Get a career and make a life for you and your child‼️

Never to late to start over! Plus it’s not starting over just a new chapter in your life! Fear of fear holds in a unexcepible place. Been there done that . It’s never okay to be in a one way relationship! Either he lives you and respects you you or ( if he dosen’t he never will and then I say find someone who does and tell him to kiss you A–

You’re never to old to learn and if your parents support this decision to help you accomplish your goals then you should do it.

Do it now! I wish someone would have said this to me 20 years ago. You are stronger than you think. You can do anything and will be much happier in doing so. You deserve to be happy and to be treated with dignity and respect. Don’t waste anymore of your precious time on someone that doesn’t treat you the way you deserve. I know the unknown is scary but you will be ok. It is way worse to spend another 10-20 years forgiving, fighting, accepting and loving this person who obviously does not love you back. You can not change someone no matter how hard you try. You will lose yourself along the way and be miserable. It is a matter of time before he move on so don’t give him that chance. I just went through this with my husband of 15 years, im now 41 and I can tell you I should have left way before this. I am much happier now and so are my kids. Go, be free, live your life and do what makes you happy. Be an example for your baby! Wish you the best of luck.

If your parents let you move home. Run home go to some type of school where you do not have to be dependent on help for your child’s father.

Its never too old to start over make the joice then go for it never look back with regret as you will only know if its the correct decision untill you’ve made it and tried it

Honey, my son moved back in at almost 30 after a really hard breakup with his fiance…he us now happy and living his best life!

Do what you have to do to never depend on a man. Love yourself first before looking for someone else to love you, then you will know when they really do.

In 2 years you will ne 25, whether you stay with looser and put up with his cheating or if you make positive changes in your life. Think about what your son is learning and get out of this bad situation

You’re too young my dear go on with your dreams and dont let negative thoughts ruin your future.and your little one make her your inspiration for you to achieve all your goals…:heart:

Darling 23 is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo young! You haven’t even begun to experience all of the beautiful things life has to offer! You can start again right now, and then again and again and again if you want to! It’s never too late!

You are only 23 sooo young.Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.Move in with parents go to school you don’t need somebody that’s still wants to hang with the guys and girls.You will never fully trust him therefore it will never work.Leave while you are still young you will be just fine.You will be so much happier.And you deserve so much more.I wish you so much luck.

You are a young grasshopper. Your little one is watching you. Be the leader in his / her life.
It’s never too late to start anything as long as you have the passion, desire, and motivation… the sky is the only limit.

It’s never to late to start over. I’m 28 and I’ve started over more times than I’m proud of. It happens to us all. Find who you are as a person as well as a mother. Go get your education, set goals for yourself and your little one and give you both a life full of happiness.

At 23 you can become a doctor if you want
Life is just starting for you
Be an example for your kid
Be strong and get out it’s not easy but you will be so much happier

Go for it!! It’s not too late to make a new start!! It will be far worse to live with regrets or what ifs!!! Prayers for you!! :pray::pray::heart:

You are never too old to start over. You should definitely talk to your parents. They love you & will always support you. Just in case no one has told you before, you are beautiful, your are wonderful, you are a good mother & God loves you.

It is NEVER too late to better yourself. You and your child deserve better, don’t be miserable and let life pass you by. Go for it!

Its NEVER too late to start over as long as you are alive. Girl, you have so much to look forward to and so much to accomplish. Take care of you and the little one. And find someone that is deserving of you and respectful of your and your little one. Chin up. You have great years ahead. I started over at twenty three with two little ones. Um good, kids arw all geown and good and their father and I now have a very amicable relationship. Your child deserves a happy mom.

No 23 is not to old to start over. I did it at 30. You do what’s best for you and your little one. Finish your education so that you can provide for your little one. Be strong, it will be a little rough but you got this.

Graduated from college at 42. Life is too short to spend it in a bad relationship. Never too late to begin anew.

Trust me!!! Get rid of him, like yesterday!! I’m 73 and know what I’m talking about. Don’t throw away your dreams because of a man!!! I did it and wasted 14 years!

Never to late. My son just broke off his 4 yrs. Engagement and moved back home. Best thing he ever did. Hes getting his life back on track. And hes 25 but no kiddos yer

You are so not too old. I’d cut my losses and go back to school. I’d better myself and my life for your child. I wish I’d done that at your age. That POS will get his eventually and time will eventually put the right man in your life. That will want you and only you.

Flee as Fast As You Can Get the Hell Out Of Dodge. He Isn’t Mr.Right. Men that Cheat Just Have No Decency ,No Heart & are Trouble !! You Are Better Than That. Keep Your Child With You. He Has No Respect. You Must Run Back Home. Never Look Back. & NEVER Go Back. Men that Love You ,Show You !!! They Don’t Shoe Other Women !!! GOD Bless You to Get on With Your Life & He Will Send the Man you Need into Your Life !!!

23 is not old go and get that. Degree it is something you’ll never regret and you will be more financially independent

It is never to late to start over …dump him …move back with your parents and focus on your child…yourself and college…get a college degree and move on …don’t get down on yourself…think positive and go for a better life for you and your child…praying for you !!!

It’s never too late to get out of a unhealthy relationship. You’re a young determined mom, concentrating on doing the best for your child & you! It wont be easy but never loss site of what lies ahead for you!

I was 30 when i quit my job & gone back to school… pregnant with my 1st child. Now working in my dream job with 4 kids :smile::smile: its never TOO LATE to upgrade ur education. Learning is a neverending process… Go ahead & unleash ur true potential. Gd luck, btw :v:t2::v:t2::grin::grin:

Sheesh, ditch the loser and move on with your life. At 23 you are WAY to young to settle for a man who disrespects you. You need to be with someone who is a much better role model for your child. And it’s never to late to return to learning - go for it. My advice is dump this man, go back to your parents, apply for college and look to the future - you deserve to be happy and fulfilled so believe in yourself! Good luck :crossed_fingers:t2:

Your still young, you need to do what’s best for you. I am very proud of you!!! Go for it girl. No time like the present!

Go back to school. It may be difficult for awhile but do it now. 23 is not old. Do it for yourself and your child. You got this. You will have no regrets.

Love you are just getting started… you have so much ahead of you… don’t spend one more minute with that"man" you deserve so much better… go back home get on your feet and heal…keep your head up beautiful :heart:

Go get it! 23, ha. Your still young enough to do anything you want. Find a man that respects you.

You are never to old to start over! I was the same age maybe even a little older when I left my husband. Me and my two kids moved in with my grandparents for 3 years almost 4. It was the best decision I ever made! I was able to finish my schooling and get a stable job!

You are so young, of course you can start over!! I went back to school at 31 with 2 kids and got my nursing degree!! You can do it!! Good luck!!

Never too old. Please take care of yourself and your child. You deserve someone who loves you. Don’t settle with someone who does not value you. Go back home and start over on a new beginning. Good luck and best wishes.

Age has nothing to do with it? If you are in a relationship that your significant other doesn’t respect you… move on.

Girl as a grandmother I would rather have my children & grandchildren home than have them in a toxic relationship. So go home go back to school/work and don’t look back or go back to him regardless of his crying and pleading when he falls flat on his face. You have made the perfect choice for you and your child. Stick to your plans. You got it.

You go girl. Time to put an end to his betrayals. Your better than that. I left my mutt/ex husband after 7yrs for the very same thing. I have a son too. I went onto uni, worked in residential Social Work and have now retired. You can be as happy as you want to be , don’t let this MUTT hold you back. It’s all very possibly, put your foot down and get into action you never know till you try. Best of luck to you. X

Asked my husband to leave, kept the house, two little girls and worked and went to school. I traded my living room furniture to my neighbor for child care and we sat on lawn chairs and watched a little tv on a metal TV tray. It’s never too late!

No it’s never too late to start over and make better life for you and your child. Kick him to the curb because you and your child deserve better. Some colleges have free childcare too so just check your options. Good luck and you are going to do amazingly! :heart:

Never to old get away from him. Go to school get your education and start a new life for you and your child .Life is to short to live in a bad relationship . So get out now!!!

You can do this. Your still very young. I m sure your parents will support you. If you are serous about going back collage or getting a trade certification will help too. Talk to your parents first than take it from there. Good luck.

It’s never to late to start over now that you know what you don’t want you know what to look for. give yourself time to get it together.and pray for guidance God speed

23 is not to old. It’s not to late to follow your dreams and pursue them. Good luck to you.

I started college at 28. Had to take a remedial math class but other than that did great. Just don’t get overwhelmed with any class -it’ll be fine when you get into it. And I was single with 3 kids. You’ll be fine.

Do what you have to better yourself and your daughter. No more toxic relationships.
Go back to school get your degree. Your parents will support your decision.

Sorry Dump him your not a door mat and what example are you showing your 5 year old that this is ok a leopard never changes his spots you can forgive but you never forget move back with your parents if there willing to help out your only young live your life go to college you meet someone who will treat you with respect and love you for who you are good luck

Since you are a single mom you can get a Pell grant that pays for all of your schooling usually with extra money to help with the bills.

Hon, just stand up and go. Your life has just begun. I think it’s great you want to go back to school and make a better life for yourself and your child. Good luck and may god bless you.

Girl go for it. Never stay with someone who has proven time and again they will never change. You keep trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Your lucky you have the option of moving with your parents. Do it before you have any more babies and strive for a better future for you and your daughter. Show her that her momma is setting an example of success in life, which is not just about money, but being self sufficient and healthy in mind, body, and soul. It’s never too late. Good luck and God bless.

It is not too late. I went to nursing school when I was 33. Glad I did cause I too had to make good money to provide for my 4 kids their dad left 2 years later. You can and will make it.

Never too old!!! I was 22, married for 4 years, with a 2 year-old son and working 30 hrs/wk when I started college! Remember, it is ALWAYS the right time for you and your child! Go for it! You will not regret it! Better things will come for you and your child! Good luck!

Never to late to go back to school and better yourself! I say “go for it”.

I started over at 48. Left my cheater and went back to college finished a degree. My diploma enabled me to make a better salary, buy a new car and travel. If I can you can too, 23 is not too old at all. You are only just beginning your life.

Go home my niece raised 2 kids went to school we helped her she now has a good job and two great adult kids who have success in life one is a teacher and one is going to be an engineer so all things are possible just hang on and you will do just fine and Love will find you

You are definitely young enough to start over. You would be showing your child that we don’t have to accept less in our relationships. Go for it.

I restarted at 29 with 2 girls and one ours and the other was actually his…it included me moving onto my parents …if the support is there take it, it’s much better than going at it alone!

It’s never to late! Luckily you saw the red flag before you wasted anymore time!!! Good Luck! Close the old chapter and begin a New chapter for YOU!!

It is rarely ever too late to start over. You got started prematurely, so starting over now is almost a do over for you. You have plenty of time to start right where you are and make exactly what you want of your life. Get to getting, young lady! Best wishes for a bright future for you and your little one. Go make it a great one!

It’s never to late. You have to do what is best for you and your daughter. This will teach her to be a strong, confident and brave woman. Just like her mama. It’s a blank page for you, fill it with the things that make you and your daughter happy.
God bless you and don’t be afraid of that first step.

It’s not late anymore! You still have chance to get it
Nothing old for everything
Better late than never did
You have better choice for Ur and Ur child future
Do it!
And you deserve it

Oh hell no! Kick him to the curb for good and get an education or a trade. Aspire for bigger and better things you can do for yourself. You dont need a guy around to make you whole.

Not too old! I went back at 28 for a career change. Moved in with my parents. I left a cheater too. First time at college, I had several classes with a grandmother in her late 60s (she would proudly tell anyone who would listen :blush:). All that matters is that you want, and DESERVE, better for you and your baby. It might be tough, change always is, but you are made of tougher stuff. :heart:

You are never too old to start over. You are still young. You need to do what is best for you and your child. Doing something to better yourself is for anyone at any age.

My sister-in-law who was a college professor said her best students were those who went to college a bit later. They knew what to expect and paid attention. They usually did better than right out of high school. Go for it!!

You are never too old to better yourself or your baby’s situation. And if you have parents who are supportive and you dreams you want reach for… I’d say the sky is the limit and it is never too late.

Absolutely go for it. To stay because you gave a child naked life miserable for you and your son. Also the actions of his father becomes acceptable which is absolutely not.
Make yourself whole. Be your best and good things will come to you and your son. Never stay in a cheating abusive relationship

Move back home, make a fresh start. Your not starting over completely, just a new fresh start. Once you start going to college you will see that their are people of all ages. Do it for you and your child you won’t regret it.

You are absolutely NOT too old to move on. Go to college, do what you want to do. You current partner is no partner. You and your daughter deserve better. Have a good life ahead!

Oh Honey, you’re never to old to start over. Go for it. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. I went back to school at 35 with 3 kids and 3 part time jobs you can do it.

23 is a wonderful age…it’s more like moving forward…my son is 36…goes to a community college…getting a degree…I say go for your dream…you will only get stronger,smarter and more mature…no matter what your age.!

Nike- JUST DO IT! Go back to your parent’s house, and get back on your feet! Good for you- he does not deserve you. By going back to school, you are showing your daughter self love, and empowerment! You’ve got this!

You are doing the right thing by leaving. If you go back to live with your parents you can go to school and do anything you want to do! Good luck!

No its never to late to start over .never stay with someone that doesn’t treat you with respect

It’s great to get the education and help that is needed. I’m a parent and would help my daughter in a moments notice

Good luck, it’s never too late to start over! You and your daughter have many more years ahead of you!! Make them count and most important “Be Happy!:pray::pray::heart:

Dear that’s a perfect age to start over I’ve done it two or three times. But I wish you would find a church to go to and take your boy so the both of you will have some support from some of the young people in the church. I know it’s tough right now and I’m sure you’re a bit depressed. Divorce is very hard for everybody. So why not let God help you. Take a …chance you are going to be amazed. God is the god of restoration and families.

Your ever to late. Go do what you need to get done. If your parents are willing to help take it. Go go for it. More power to you. Just get rid of the boy friend he no good.

No go he has no respect for you and by past practice knows he can do what ever and you will stay

I started over at 27,47, and 60. It’s never too late! Get busy making a good life for you and your son!

I started over at 30 with 4 kids. Went to university, found a wonderful man who loves me and just had baby number 5. You got this!!!

He is already out. So what are you leaving. Go to school…keep your head on your life. Guess what in 10 years when you walk down the aisle with a good grown-up man and have a career he will be shocked. But you have grown past him and won’t care.

You are not to old. I had to restart my life at 44 when my husband and I separated 6 years ago. Thankfully my kids aren’t little so it’s been good

You can write as many new chapters as you want to get to where you want to be! Also, he may never change but sometimes you have to forgive people that we’ll never be sorry, not for them but for peace inside yourself.

Go now and get your do-over, before it ends up costing you more, including your self-respect. It’s a sign and things happen for a reason girl!!

it’s never too late to start over and you should not stay with someone that doesn’t make you happy

Its not to late sounds like you have a plan you should follow it through give your son a nice secure home with your mom and dad good luck

Not too old, do it and never look back. Only wishing the best for you. I’m sure you will succeed
