I don't know what's going on in your specific case but:

1. It's never out of time, for sure. If you want to make a specific change, study the pros/cons and decide whether to do it or not! But you can for sure make the change you want to.

2. Don't fall into the trap of idealizing a life you don't have. The grass is significantly less green than you might think at the other side of the fence.

I don't think this helps as much as you may think it does. Some things can't be undone once done and they make people's lives much worse.

It may, or may not sound convincing. It's true that some things cannot be undone, and we may feel regret or remorse for them. Still, there's a path for healing and liberation by understanding under which circumstances and which assumptions you took that decission, understanding that sometimes life is hard, and that you're worth it.

I don't know this specific case though, and I guess neither do you. If the parent comment wants to come back with some details, I'll reflect on it.
