I just saw your post - I can really relate to this. Sometimes I have almost entire days of not stuttering, and then all the sudden, it comes back - even when I'm alone and just talking to myself. You said you feel very comfortable around your family - which is great. However, do you have memories of them 'poking fun' at your stutter from when you were younger? I stutter probably 150% more around my Mother because she used to really... 'laugh at' my stutter when I was younger. It really scarred me, and it's something I'll probably never forgive her for. She doesn't do it anymore - at all - but just knowing she used to do this makes me very uncomfortable talking to her sometimes. My friends, on the other hand, have never made fun of/commented negatively on my stutter. So, if I happen to stutter around them, I know they're not secretly judging me - they just accept it's who I am. I feel people like my Mother have NOT accepted it and are still embarrassed by it. Maybe this doesn't explain your situation at all, but I thought I would throw my 2 cents into the conversation!
