[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 51, and a self-employed full-time working mom of two upper teens. Over the past year or so I have started feeling very unmotivated and bored with many aspects of my life. [SNIP]
 I care a ton about my family and I'm fortunate to have a close circle of girl friends but I find myself just not giving a shit anymore about a lot. I'm not sure if that is normal and healthy or alarming. I kind of feel good about it.[/quote]

Sounds like a normal and healthy change of life to me, especially since you kind of feel good about it. If you felt bad about it, then I would look for solutions.

If you haven’t already, you might want to read up on the subject, Christiane Northrup has a book, which might be a bit woo-woo for you, but it could be helpful if you like it. Read up on the “crone” years. Some women turn more outward, some turn inward.

I get the sense you are in a transition and will be discovering new interests or re-discovering interests that have been hibernating during your “mother” years.
