I am 38 years old, a father and married. And I have to tell you that it can go in any direction. I know people my age who stutter more than they ever have in their lives and are under a lot of stress as a result. However, there are also examples that are more positive. I, for example, have gained a lot in quality of life after a therapy in 2016. The techniques I learned there didn't last long, but the confrontation therapy took away a lot of my anxiety and panic. And we all know that fear leads to pressure and pressure leads to more stuttering. I've maintained that level of confrontation ever since, and even work in public service where I have to do a lot of talking on the phone and have generally become much more relaxed about talking. I have figured out for myself that if I don't face the fear of speaking, my situation will not change. I still stutter, of course. Some days still quite frequently too. But I am much more relaxed and open about it.
