The name thing is really big for us. It’s the first thing you say to a stranger. Man I wish it’s gets better for you really. Me and wife have started discussing being parents. My main hesitation is honestly my stutter. I am not really confident in social situations. I have basically survived by avoiding being too social. If I have to take a phone call when in public/with friends, I always excuse myself into a private corner. It might look awkward but in my mind it would be less awkward than stuttering like mad in front of them 😔. I feel like having a child would mean I would have to start facing the real world more. It scares me a little. I think you show a lot of strength by being a parent and discussing stuttering with you son. I hope I can be as strong when time comes.
