'Did he tell you why they were getting divorced?'
Koki cocked his head.
'No one told me a thing. My father was never very into his own family, and my mum was going stir-crazy, stuck at home with nothing to do Seemed like good news for both of them.'
"stir-crazy" の "stir" は撹拌とか動揺しか思いつかないのですが、"stir-crazy" でどんな意味になるのでしょうか？ 後に "stuck at home" とあるので引きこもりを連想しますが。
