You are just a kid go for it!
Gurl, my life caught on fire and burned to the ground at 23 
No shame in going back home and regrouping in an environment that loves you and kin no matter what. I’m 29 and never thought I’d make to where I’m at now. The only thing stopping you is yourself, live your life and do whatchu want and need for the both of you 
I’m not a mom lol just a friend but my opinion walk away tell him to kick rocks mom and daddy always got your back
23? Of course not. That’s nothing.
I went back to school and graduated becoming an RN at 38 years of age while going through a divorce and raising two boys…so anything is possible with determination and grit!! Best decision of my life! Got a Pell Grant and never had too great of a student loan to pay back either…you go girl, you can do this!!!

You can do it!! I was 22 with a 3 yo and a 1 yo when I divorced. I attended college on Tuesday and Thursdays, Worked nights waitressing Mon, Wed, Fri. & Saturday. Was it hard, of course. But I did it. I graduated with a Business degree with an accounting major, went on to get my CPA and found the perfect guy for me and my kids. Now I’m helping my three grandkids thru college. You are your best investment. Your child will grow up having a great role model. Just do it!

I’m 32 with 4 children ranging in ages from 13 to 2, I graduate in August with my associates in CJ… its never too late to start over, go to school, or any attempt to improve yourself, over the last decade I have “restarted” a handful of times as my past relationships producing a child (2) failed and inspired me to make changes and start anew… you can do it if you put your mind, heart and soul into it

You are young, motivated, and a caring mom. You can accomplish anything you put your mind to. I went back to college at 37 yrs old with 2 kids. Became a teacher and had a 28 yr career before retiring. Sometimes a rough road, but always heading in the right direction. You have so much to look forward to…embrace it. What would you say to your child should they be faced with a similar challenge???..say those words to yourself:heart:
You are strong, you are smart, you are worthy! Good luck!

Go for it! I went back after a failed marriage because I could not trust that he would give me the court ordered child support! I was right too. I had two children at the time but found childcare in my neighborhood. If I did it , so can you. It will empower you in so many ways. It was good to be around other adults because all I did was go to school, teach school and take care of my children.
Never to old to start over. Go home where you are safe and loved to parents who are always their for you and your daughter. Good luck hun you will look back later in your life and will know you made the right decision xx

50, here. I started over at 25 after an abusive marriage. I stayed with my dad and his wife until I could get a place. I went back to college at 37 and graduated at 40 with two degrees. In that time I had married again. I thought it would be forever, but we had grown apart. So at 42 started over again. We are so much stronger than we think. If you are not supported, loved, cherished. Leave. You can make a great life for you and your child. I am happy and love who I am with. Good luck.

You got the right idea make that choice and never look back go forward. I was in a similar situation with two young children in my hand and a two month old in my belly. One night I decided this is it he has to go. I was too months pregnant with my last child I packed his stuff and run him out of his own mortgage house which I ended up getting after he couldn’t pay for it. it’s a long story iam trying to make it short. My if I can do it you can.

Girl, it’s never too late to start over! I can’t tell you how many times I started over, switching careers, going to college, new relationships, etc. I got my associates degree in my early 30s. Then my Bachelors in my early 40s…and pregnant twice during that time, graduated when I was 7 months along! I’d like to work on my Masters in the next few years…so I’ll be nearing 50 when it’s all said and done. Get that degree or degrees! You’re never too old to learn.
I lived with my mom as a single mom until he was 5. Instead of college I worked my way up in the job I was in. I raised my son as a single mom on my own and in hind sight I wish I had gone to college. You will have so many more options with a degree. Now, after raising my son and sending him to trade school and 20+ years in a professional career built on necessity, I am getting my degree. I’m 50 this year. There is never a time that is too late. You can make hard choices that create a better future. Create security for yourself. This is the best advise.
You are never to old! If your parents want you there, go & start the life you & your child want & need! 23 is young, there are a lot older people in college than that! You can have a new career & life before your 30!
It is never to late to better your life. You are not too old to go to school. Don’t listen to people that tell you that you can’t. You Can!! Go for it. God be with you

It’s never too late to start again. I’m 54 and was homeless for a year and a half with six months of that time living in my van. We pick ourselves up, dust off, and move forward.

Absolutely not! I was divorced at 22 (no kiddos, but still) and to this day it was the best decision of my life! I’d rather be happy alone than miserable with someone. You deserve better than to be treated like that. And your munchkin deserves a happy mama.
it’s never too late to start over I started over at 45 when my husband was caught cheating with a “good” friend of mine…I dumped him and started on my own …and managed great I also had young kids at the time… you can do it …if you can’t respect yourself how can you expect someone else to respect you?
Baby girl, if your life span is 80 years, you have not begun to live yet! It’s never too late to start over. Move back home, seek help and get on path to support yourself and your child. Learn from this experience but do not make it define you! " Never make someone a priority who treats you as optional. Blessings on your journey of self-,discovery, peace and happiness!
Lady, I started over a couple of times. The last time I was in my 30’s. I too have my son (He graduates this Friday)
Plus, I do know there are a few Job corps campuses that are family friendly. That program is for ages 16-24. It will help for the 2 yrs of college plus pay you for a vocation. Residence is on campus…

No23 isn’t too old to go to a university! Will depend on your parents as to whether you can move in with them. But universities have married housing and I’m sure you would qualify for financial aid
My dear. Noone is ever too old to start a new episode in their life. Former president Obama retired at age 55. Former president Trump started his presidential career in his 70s. The fact that you’ve made up your mind to start is a big achievement. Do whatever you want to do to make u happy. Go to school, get your career in order and improve on your finances. Get your dream guy in your subconscious mind so that when the opposite shows up you will know. Take good care of your child too. You will be fine. Don’t forget your relationship with Jesus too. He will give you wisdom to navigate through life’s difficulties.

Their is no age limit in starting a new life. The erlier the better. Study hard, be nice to your parents and child and in the long run you will be better than him and don’t rush for another man again. Pray that God will provide you the best if you trust Him. Good luck.
As a parent I have to say this, get the heck out while you can once a cheat always a cheat. never stay for your child ( often girls do this ) you are never to old to make a change. If your parents are allowing you to go home take full advantage of it and go home. Go back to school get your education and be a great mom to your son. Often girls forget " you do not need a man in your life to make you happy especially if you have a child or children always put them and yourself first. Good luck young lady and my god guide you through all of this 
Definitely go for it , drop him now and if your parents are willing to help then do it ! Better yourself for you and your child. Hun you are still very young go do what is right for you !!!
Get out, go to college and start thinking about yourself and your child. He is not worth it. Your soul
mate is still out there!
I went back to school at age 30 to better myself! I had a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old too! It’s never too late!

It’s never to late to start over!
I know from personal experience!
I’m 77 years old, and I’ve started over at least 7 different times!
A little help from family, the other times all on my own!
You can do it!
You aré lucky you have parents that are wiling to help you out, don’t pass up the chance to let them see you doing well in life that’s a parents dream for their child. Go for it girl.
Once a cheater always a cheater move on with your life get that education and take care of your baby he will realize a good thing that he had once you are gone but its to late then

It is NEVER to late to start over!! Go back to school…cut yourself some slack and grow yourself as an individual b4 hooking up w a fella.
You are still a baby!!! 23 is soo young! Go and make a better life for you and your child! Life is too short to waste with someone that doesn’t respect you!!
I am an 84 years old male.But I feel ok to comment.At 23 years old most young people are just starting out.Yes you have a child.But with family and friends behind you,you can achieve anything you wish to.You also have some experience behind you.Perhaps not good.But don’t let it spoil your future.I admire your bravery for making the change.Go girl.The world is before you
It is never too old to better yourself. Do it now while you have the love and support of your parents. Start over!!!
You’re certainly not to old!! Go to college, even if it’s a 2 year degree. Do something you love. I went to college in my 30’s—loved it and absorbed loved that I got a job that paid well and was fun everyday!!
You’re still young, a trade school would be good to try. Apprenticeship usually a couple of years and you get on the job training. Great benefits. Compare what your salary would be now and when you graduate. Mind blowing.
It’s never too late to start over. I started college at 35 as a divorced mom of 10 year old twins.
You are not to old get your education and I bet your family will think you made a great decision
Do some online courses. Its fine that u got rid over that man, go to colg find a beautiful man or be a confident woman, haven’t u heard of jk rowling
College is an investment in your future and everyone wants at least a 4 year degree. Spend quality time with your son. You both will be fine. Keep the faith. Good things await you both.
Never to old my daughter went back to school at 40 now she’s making good money and is working at a job she loved
Not to late go on and live for yourself go to college make a better life for you and your daughter be blessed
The best thing you can do for your child is to give a stable home, With lots of love. My daughter is going on 34 she is welcome with me untill my last breath. It’s never to late to start over again. And maybe just maybe you should pray to God to ask for his guidance
I started over at 43. My life improved immediately and it’s only gotten better since then. 23 is a great age to start over and your child will be forever grateful. She wants her mommy to be happy. You deserve the best.
23 is not too old to start over. Kick the bum to the curb, go home while you’re in school, get a bette job and make a life for you and your child on your own terms. I moved to a state 2000 miles away from home when I was 49 years old. Almost 18 years later, I have had the two best jobs of my life here. If I can do it at 49, you can do it at 23, especially if you have your parents’ support.
It’s never to late to start over or better yourself, the better you are the better you can be for your daughter, & what a great role model you will be for your little one. 
He does deserve you continue your education for a great future for you and your child. No you are NOT to old

I am not a woman ,but you need to go asap , do it for you and your daughter as well as your parents health and stay gone do not go back…
It is never too late to start over! I went back to school at 26 for a nursing degree.
Take the leap girl! Have courage you are most definitely not too old to start over. Now go out there and get that better life for you and your daughter.
Close that chapter in your life…open the next chapter. If you have family and friends supporting you, go for it. Your child will be resilient and be better growing up with love.
You’re still young do it…it is never to late… love yourself…
The wisest thing you can do is to start over!! Think of what you want your life to be like in five years, and do what you need to do to get yourself there. Moving out of a negative situation sounds like the first step.
No, go to school. Make a much better life for you and your child!!!
No, your helping your life , and your child’s, he ain’t gonna stop, you deserve better than that!!! Would you rather be miserable and unhappy, while hes doing his thing, your missing out on life, and there’s the right one out there, eventually, focus on you, and believe me , he will regret it , when he gets off his high horse, doesn’t take brains to cheat!!! Hes a total looser, for that!!!move on to bigger and better things, think of your happiness and that you deserve more than that!!!
As a parent, my door is always open to my sons no matter what their age. If they wanted to start over and go back to school when they are 45 years old I support them 100%. Better to do it now rather than after you possibly have more children. I went to college at the age of 21 after I had both my sons. I eventually moved back in with my parents because I had a job and school and needed help with my kiddos. Go for it now or you will always wonder what would have been!!! Good luck.
It’s never to late if he isn’t going to stop cheating do it got you and your child you are still young.
You are just a youngster in the game of life…don’t waste one more minute though. It may get tough from time to time but do it because that is what you want to do…
No. Do yourself a favor. Your plan is perfect. You will need College in your future. Do it now. While you have help. Set the example for your child. College teachers you how to carry on intelligent conversation. Take a test to see where your strengths are. You’re smarter than you think.
You’re 23! Practically a baby yourself. Start over and don’t think you are too old. I started my first real job at 30. My daughter now 34 is still studying to be an RN ( she is a LBN now). You are never to old ! Go for it!
It’s never to late to start over! You deserve to be happy go out and enjoy your life you got this girl
It’s never to late to start over do for you and your son. Forget him put him out of your life!

Its never too late move back in get the help you need.
There was a program called work first that helps with school , childcare, medical, and food. Check with social serves to see if still available.
Nobody can change anything.if he did as once it will happen you better your self get some help
Absolutely not! You can start over at any point in your life but hopefully this will be the only one you need
Sweetie… in life it is NEVER to late for personal growth. If you are blessed enough to have parents who would allow you this opportunity you should definitely go for it girl! Not to mention your little one will see you working towards your goals which is so powerful!
I moved back in with my parents when i was 29, got married again when i was 37. 23 is definitely young enough to start over. You can start over at any age!
Moving back home and going to school is an excellent plan. You are still young and can pursue this now and be successful. Best of luck to you.
Girl! You got this!! 23 is still so young… you have so much time and growth to be done. I have started over many times as I am a magnet for a looser lol but you can pick yourself up and dust yourself off and learn from the experiences. You can show your child how strong you are and teach him/her very valuable life skills needed for them to grow into a strong adult. Congratulations on realizing your worth and saying enough… you have already come farther than most of us! Stay strong mommas !! You got this!!

Go back to school move in with your parents if it’s ok with them but remember to help out.
It’s never too late to restart. My last restart was at age50. Do what’s right for you.
Absolutely!!! I’m 47, and am getting rid of everything that reminds me of my past. I’m mainly keeping my kitchenware, and some clothes. I’m selling whats left, which isn’t much, no furniture, no house, no car, etc. I’m moving across the country in a few years once I get my license back, starting over. And leaving the past in the past. I actually can’t wait! I know I’ll be much happier once I have my own home, in a completely different area, and closer to my daughter and her family. Keep your head up and go for it!!!
In 2 years you will be 25. You can be 25 with a degree or you can be 25 without a degree. Your choice but I would go get that degree.
No. It isnt. To late. Get your educstion. So u. Can. Live without. Thr worry. Of a mans. The right one will come alomg
Who told you to you got to put up with other ppls bad behaviors!!! He has many and each time you take him back he knows how far he can take you! Forgive him and leave! How do you figure that this man is right for you but steady treating you bad! Most parents tried to instill in their children growing up to never let ppl take advantage, treat you bad nor run over you!!! Go back to your childhood teachings! Girl run like a track star away from him!!! He is blocking your true love/mate…!!!
It is never too late to start over. 23, 35. 58, 72. You shouldn’t limit yourself by your age.
That is the age to start in the first place so go on honey get your self moving .may god guide your path.
I was 38 with my 6 children and left and remember God no home old car and 80$ in my pocket I’m 80 now and never look back
I started over at 27 with two kids it was hard work but well worth it . You can do this just know you’re worth it and deserve so much more
Starting over will be best for you and your child. You know what’s best so do what’s best. If not for yourself then at least for your child.
