Well, I am about to turn 44 this week and my "baby" left about 2 months ago. I have 3 children and (at least in my area) I am very young to be in this position. Many of my friends & peers still have children in school, even elementary school, so it is hard find peers I can relate to...

You are very young indeed. I am 52 with a 7th and 8th grader . I would travel, meet up with my friends in other states, hop back to school-photography , its time to reinvent yourself. You can do this!! When my kids graduate I will be in a wheelchair.
