Kimberly sat in the office of Highland Woods Elementary School. Again. Was the secretary looking at her? Probably. She had managed to avoid the pricipal's office during her entire career as a student, but as a parent......
Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Most people thought it was just fancy talk for brat. Kimberly knew better, though it had taken her awhile to get there. Joshua could be such a sweet boy. But stress triggered his defiance, and she know that she had certainly aggravated the stress in his poor little life over the past few weeks. His first episode with the disorder had been during her divorce, when he hated seeing her cry. And she had cried more over the last few weeks than she had cried since her husband had left her three years earlier. And Joshua had spent more time with the counselor and the principal than he had since kindergarten. Thought caused Kimberly's eyes to well again, and she wiped them discreetly. And wondered about Robert. Did he even care how much he had hurt her? Did he care that her son's world was turned upside down??
