This is going to sound so cruel but, YOU CANNOT GO BACK. You cannot go back in life in any way that I know of, everyone you knew has moved forward and you are moving backwards. They have a new den mother now in the Secretarial job you used to have, they have probably grown accustomed to her and (in all probability) you are becoming a distant memory.

Put your husband first in this and move forward with your life. Perhaps look at it this way, you are still very young, you have the probability of living to be well into your 80s and you could make a whole new life in that time.
