Ya my whole family told me over and over I'd outgrow it. And then on family gatherings I would here them ask my mom if I've outgrown it yet. Them making a big deal out of it, and constantly telling me I'd outgrow it, possibly is why I never did outgrow it. 42 here btw. Speech therapy doesn't help most of us. I'd try some actual therapy now to deal with the emotions of and difficulties you are dealing with.
