Sometimes environment change can have positive impact with people who stutter. I know a successful entrepreneur with severe stutter. Built a successful business with over 200 employees and $100m in turnover. Shockingly what he said was as soon as he cut of from his family and moved to a new environment, things began to improve. And that effect carried over till today. That burden of trying to convince people whom you see everyday that your stutter will improve was let go. All of a sudden, he wasn't thinking about it as much even though it was still there. All of that energy was diverted to building his business. His family couldn't believe how he became so successful and wealthy with his stutter....still judging him and has no regret cutting them off. He knew his parents saw him as the smartest kid among the children but his siblings always judged him based on his stutter. I'm not advising you do the same but something to keep in mind. Family can be an asset or a detriment to one's success.
