They Called It Boundaries: Reclaiming Peace and Self-Worth After Estrangement from Your Adult Children

For decades, psychology books have focused on only one story — the story of narcissistic fathers, toxic mothers, and adult children encouraged to walk away. Few have asked what happens to the parents who remain, quietly grieving behind closed doors. They Called It Boundaries finally gives voice to those living in the silence of estrangement , offering understanding, strength, and hope for healing. Unlike most family estrangement books for parents , this one does not seek to assign blame or push reconciliation. It helps you restore your dignity, rebuild confidence, and find peace within yourself, even when contact may never return. Inside, you will discover • how modern culture and therapy have normalized parental estrangement and silenced estranged parents • compassionate guidance for emotional recovery and parent–child healing • practical steps for healing after estrangement from adult children • ways to rediscover meaning, identity, and self-worth beyond the relationship If you have been told to accept “boundaries” yet feel erased from your own story, this book will remind you that peace and purpose are still possible. It is a compassionate companion for every parent ready to come home to themselves.
