I was thinking what Agency said: Go the correspondence route, but take at least one class (even if you 'audit' it) at a local place (college, community college, adult education course, etc.). That way you are in a social situation which would be good for you, but not so much that it might make it hard to do your studies.
BTW, here in the U.S. (or maybe just Texas), auditing a course is sitting in on it, not for a grade but just for the information. It's also a good way to take a course outside of your degree plan that just interests you, without worrying about a grade.
Another BTW, I started grad school when I was 30, after being out of school for about 7 years, and most of my classmates were in their early 20's. So, it is more difficult initially in some ways (I also had a 12-year-old at home), but not too difficult to handle.
Good luck. I hope you pursue your education, whatever path you take.
