Firstly, nothing happens for a reason - there's no reason, to be personal, that I have Multiple Sclerosis. There's no reason that I can't walk due to Spinal Cord Injury - there's also no reason that someone stutters, as well as no reason that I have blue eyes. The Universe is not governed by our probaby tenous grasp on 'reason' - its difficult to assign a strict causality to anything, nevermind speech impairments. Secondly, human beings are persistent fuckers. People don't have breakdowns over stutters (often, it will have happened at some point I'm sure) because humans generally don't have breakdowns. There are a number of really shitty circumstances that people go through, and get through because that is what we do. We survive. Frustration isn't a well aimed bullet, it sucks - and I don't mean to downplay it - but it wont kill you. Everyone, stutterer or not, will feel alone and misunderstood. I'm not that old, but I've come to the conclusion that's just part of the human condition. We also all have our boundaries to work within and our visible and invisible insecurities - stuttering is a specific experience, sure - but the feelings associated with it: loneliness, frustration, even depression are shared amongst numerous groups.
