    You can check out organizations like Path Forward and iRelaunch! They have great info for people returning to the workforce. Good luck!

    I have been a SAHM and a homeschooling mom of two special needs kiddos for over 20 years. My Asperger's daughter is 27 and doing well and just did leave the nest to be on her own. My OCD/ADHD/ASD son is 16. He is currently high school dual enrolled at the local college.

    So, when he's 18 ... I would like to go back to work. But yes, what my little 'ole two year degree (I got in 1989) was in ... is not what I want to do now. But I don't feel I have a passion for anything.

    I would also like to know. Finding your purpose or passion i think is huge. What other networks or resources are available?
