I was going to type it in, but heck, I found out I can just + to it.
You should probably step back and analyze further. Are you also emotional nowadays? Do you feel more sympathetic? Protective? Bottom line is..... most likely you are changing due to your family (which is a very good thing).
Do you have a daughter? Be warned, my son is now 19 but I am still close to him (not as close). My daughter is 17 but (crap), she and I closer now than before.
Consider yourself lucky as it sounds like your 'hobby' is the only one being 'put aside.' Some of us had to give up careers, fortune and opportunities just for the sake of the family ----- heck, for the record, I for one, do not have regrets.
Keep Up The Good Job. Your mentality would most like create a very strong and happy family.
