“A flying boat! I’m going to build a flying boat. It will be what takes our lives from good to great. We will hire a maid, buy a bigger house, and travel the world.”
Alissa stood in shock and disbelief. What was her husband saying? More importantly, did he believe in himself? Anxiety began to take over and an uneasy pit in her stomach grew. She wasn’t sure if she was being unsupportive, or if he had truly lost his mind. Regardless of the answer, she was forced to put on a brave face and keep her household running smoothly for their children.
Written by a young mother and mental abuse survivor, “Flying Chaos” introduces a firsthand look regarding the effects mental illness has on relationships and the lifelong consequences that follow. It contains events that go beyond describable words as Alissa shows us just how powerful the mind can be. A bipolar roller coaster, an internal fight with anxiety, and the emotional abuse that engulfs it all in what she names her “Flying Chaos.”
Alissa hopes this book will shine light on the importance of mental health, empower victims of emotional abuse, and provide inspiration for families of loved ones struggling with illness. Pick this book up, and you won’t put it down as you watch Alissa try to make sense out of the nonsense that became of her life.
