The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time Chapter 73

By Mark Haddon

Chapter 73

Christopher decides to go into flashback mode again.
His mother and father used to argue a lot, and sometimes he wondered if they might get divorced.
He says most of their problems came from the stress of taking care of him. He used to be much harder to take care of when he was younger, evidently: he smashed things, refused to eat or drink, and screamed when he was confused.
Yeah, it used to be pretty bad.
