Would you be mad? When my husband and I went to A parent/teacher meeting to talk about getting my son additional help, I didn’t think to announce my stutter because I assumed it would be obvious. Other than my husband and I, there were 11 other people consisting of teachers and school administrators. I was very anxious which made my stutter even worse. Overall, the meeting went fairly well and my son got the extra academic help he needs. The next day I received A phone call from CPS(children protective services). The school reported that I seemed under the influence!! I had to go take A drug test which came back negative. I feel so humiliated and angry. What would you do?
