This thread really hits home - reading and thinking "Wait that's me." As a happily divorced parent (whose kids have been the joy in my life), with two off at school and a very independent 10th grader - if there was an ATM and chef, she wouldn't even notice I was gone, I am busy thinking about the rest of my life. Reading this has given me lots of ideas and a good deal of trepidation. I am now looking at the final two years with youngest daughter as a period of time to rediscover myself and find something, in addition to work, to fill up the time.
To HImom, I am interested in how you made the transition from law to something more satisfying. I, too, am thinking about a mid-career shift to something that might make a little more difference in the world. I just haven't figured out how yet.
