Tired of the Boomerang?

Why We Need This Book Now

If you’re reading this, you probably know the feeling: the exhaustion that settles deep in your bones after a family conflict, the confusion when an argument with your adult child loops back to the exact same painful place, or the crushing guilt that accompanies any attempt to say, “No.”

For too long, the narrative around adult family dynamics has been split into two extremes: the strict “cut-them-off” advice or the unending self-sacrifice model.

Boundaries and Boomerangs is here to tell you that there is a third way—a way built on solidarity and hard-won peace. I’m Margo Avery, and I’m not here to be your instructor; I’m here to be your confidante.

This book is less a “how-to guide” and more a collective exhale for the parent who feels trapped. We aren’t focused on changing our adult children; we are focused on reclaiming our own sanity and joy.

Why this book, and why now?

Because the emotional toll of carrying everyone’s burdens is real. We call it the “boomerang effect.” The way conflict constantly returns to the parent, draining their energy, their finances, and their peace. We’re building this book on the foundation of shared experience, using real, anonymous stories from parents who have navigated the toughest terrains. From endless financial strain and complex sibling mediation to the difficult final frontier of grandparenting boundaries.

If your exhaustion is valid, your struggle is real, and your desire for peace is non-negotiable, you belong here. Your story is the cornerstone of this movement. By sharing your experience, you help break the silence for a community of parents ready to finally move forward and live the life they earned.
