Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

Christina is very immature and shows no signs of growing up or becoming a woman of honor she should not be graduating in my opinion. She is very selfish and I think she will be start her hustle again if she needs to it's the easy way out she doesn't have to work hard an she can make good money. I feel sorry for Jackson hopefully she will let him stay with her mother until she grows up

I think that Christina has actually grown up quite a bit from the time that she entered the house. Maude I am not sure how old you are, but how many people do you know that were truly grown up at 20 or 21. Hell there is people that I know who are much older than Christina is, but yet have never gained the level of maturity that they should have. So I think that we need to cut her a little slack. Let her grow up.

Christina has come so far since she first entered the starting over house. Yes she still has some growing up to do, and life isn't going to be easy for her as she leaves and enters the real world. She will not only be faced with the day-to-day temptations of returning to her old lifestyle, but will have to handle judgement from people like us. I just hope and pray that Christina will use all the tools and continue on her journey to become a woman of honor. She now knows that there is a better life out there, filled with many opportunities, and as long as she trusts and believes in herself I think she will be ok.
CONGRATULATIONS CHRISTINA AND BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!

I think Christina has grown up a lot since entering the house. You must remember she is only in her early 20's. She is much more mature than many 20 yr olds I know.
I do agree she is not as grown up as the other women in the house but that would be due to her age.
Yes it will be hard , but it is hard for anyone who leaves the house not to fall back into old patterns and issue and age has nothing to do with whether they successed or not once they leave the house. It is the support they recieve and there deternination to completely change.

Everyone still has work to do once they leave, they give them the tools they need in the house and it is up to each house mate to use those tools to finishes what they started in the house.

I think the most telling trait of maturity is to admit that you still have a lot of growing to do!!! And Christina is doing that. She was very open about her new self-portrait and having the tools and really remembering to use them. I also thought she seemed very sincere and honest in her choices for a new way of life. I also hope she continues to grow....empathy and kindness will gradually come to her. But Jackson has a much better-equipped mommy than he did a few short months ago!!! And think about it.....how many "Christinas" actually get out of that lifestyle while still young and with hope for the future? I DO wish them the best!!!!!!!!!!

The way i see it is she chose this lifestyle she didn't come from a bad home like most strippers and hookers do she could have worked in her father's business or become a waitress or a million other jobs she didn't have to sell her body for money unlike alot of girls she had choices and she showed no motherly instincts concerning her son she put herself and him at risk with her lifestyle now she wants to take him away from the stable home her mother has created for him.
