My stuttering impact reduced after my marriage and reduced further after my kids are born. I have spent my time only with my supporting family & the impact of stuttering reduced as I continued working as a software programmer my whole life in USA & involved in minor talks here & there in occasional meetings. Employers & my supervisors mostly trust my technical skills & least bothered about my occasional communication skills. I don't go & interact much with society other than my supporting family ,one or 2 friends. I'm remained happy. I think myself as a hero who could have done anything if stammering was not there & considered superior than my others to boost up the confidence and vanishing the effects of stuttering. Time will change for all stutterers,their happy part of life will be definitely there in their life span don't worry friends! This is from a 40 year old man. I work for government. Slow paced work life is better my stuttering and I maintain low profile but in the end I'm happy. I raise my kids stronger & more brilliant so they will win over the things which I failed in life :)
