One thing that helped me accept stuttering, after years of going through therapy or trying out devices and even hypnosis, was realizing literally no one around me cared about it. My dad stutters too, but neither he nor my mom treated it like a problem. None of my friends cared. I was the only person who it ever bothered. If I wanted to go into therapy, my parents would take me. If I wanted to try a Speech Easy, they'd buy me one. But they never pushed me to do anything. I figured out on my own that thinking less about stuttering was the real cure, not trying to "beat" it. I'm thankful that I was brought up in an environment where I was accepted for who I am and my parents weren't trying to "fix" me. Just another perspective. Your heart's in the right place. Good luck!
