Welcome! No de-tox story here, but yes, getting more comfortable with my giftedness has definitely been one good result of trying to figure out the kiddoes. I think the late 20's/30's are just a rush of child rearing for a lot of people, hitting it hard at the job, etc., you don't spend the time you used to just exploring the world of ideas.
It's nice to begin to think in terms of learning again, even if it starts because you are working up an after-schooling program for your stealth-mathy kid... or something like that
