Think I may have missed the boat....

I essentially gave up my career when I met dh. He travels a lot and I became a 'trailing spouse'. I enjoyed it and have no regrets in giving up my career. Kind of hated it anyway. Many years and 2 children later I think I may have missed the boat in returning to work. I have never been envious of working mums and like being a SAHM.
How do you find your passion ?
I realize I have put dh and kids, house, pets, other people first and have actually lost sight of who I am or where I want to go.
We are in a country where my language skills are so-so, so volunteering or even a p/t job would be hard.
Anyone in their 50's started again?

Not me but it's never to late to start again.

If you've been out of the workforce for a long time you will essentially have to start at the bottom but that needn't be a bad thing.

When you have time to yourself, what do you like to do? I think that's always a good starting point...
