I am 78. My father who died at the age of 71 , was like myself a covert PWS (person who stutters) From early childhood I was subjected to speech therapy,psychotherapy and various practitioners who had nothing to offer besides presenting my parents with a bill for professional services. I also tried hypnotherapy which yielded some useful results. However in 1969 I convinced a gorgeous girl into believing that I was a normal person. I started believing it myself and today we have several children & many grandchildren . Nobody knows that I am nuts😎
