WHITE ELEPHANTS
by CHYNNA LAIRD

SYNOPSIS:
Elephant in the middle of the living room–that is one way of explaining how a family walks around the invisible presence of huge problems. Hindsight is what brings the elephant into focus.
Somehow at the innocent age of five Tami began to see the bulky creature crowding her family and took on a sense of responsibility far beyond expectation for her age. Her mother was different than other mothers. Family life in their household was not pretty. No one seemed to notice. No one did anything about it, and Tami wanted someone to do just that. As an adult Tami took on her first name, Chynna, and took up the challenge to find out what might have helped her mother fight her battle of self-destruction. She couldn’t help her mother, but she would consider it worth everything if her family’s story helped another.
This candid memoir is a story of one girl’s struggle to deal with her mother’s alcoholic/bipolar condition–the white elephant no one else would see. With a conversational tone, Laird shares her remarkable story of abuse, survival, and her triumphant recovery into becoming a healthy, well adjusted wife and mother. Tastefully written, this book will touch your heart. It offers hope that, no matter where you come from, life is what you make it.

  1. I had a relative when I was little that was bipolar. Of course this was many years ago and I don’t even think we knew what “bipolar” was back then. All we knew was she went on these terrible mental binges for a few days and then would be back to her normal self (for a week or two). 🙂

  2. My sister is bipolar. She is mostly controlled now but for years she wasn’t and it was hard on her and on our relationship.

  3. Sadly, I have 2 family members who are alcoholic, I think it runs in the family, and 2 bipolars family members, again I think it runs in the family.

  4. No I don’t know anyone who is bipolar. I have a cousin who’s son has something, but I’m not sure if he is bipolar….
