[quote=Anonymous]Op - this is a great post - you are not alone. I'm a 52 year old empty nester (19 and 21 year old in college). What I found was that the empty nester years are times for reconnecting. No more sports or dance or whatever else consumed your time. Reach out to old friends - whether or not they have kids at home. They will love it - just invite a group of friends to hang out at your house for a casual dinner, or stuff like art exhibits, sporting events, concerts etc. You will see who also wants to get out of the house and have fun. I dreaded these years so much but have never been busier or happier and it's a nice example for our kids. They enjoy seeing family riends over for happy hour or dinners when they are home over the summer and even join us. Middle school to high school was not so great socially but I'm enjoying these years. You need to get the ball rolling with some texts/ calls but once you do you will rekindle the friendships that matter. [/quote]
