interregnum (http://definr.com/interregnum)
n : the time between two reigns, governments, etc.
Many of my students have returned to college after some manner of life interregnum: a year or two of post-high-school dissolution, or a large swath of simple middle-class existence, 20 years of the demands of home and family.
