Yes, my parents just did nothing to help me, no speech therapy, etc but treated me terribly as if my not being perfect anymore was an affront to them. I was abused, and marginalized and I believed a family friend was allowed to groom me for molestation from age 8 until 12 when I finally asked an older teenager who babysat for us for help. I stuttered from age 4-70! I finally sought psychotherapy for lifelong depression and my childhood abuse was finally addressed. After that, at the age of, 70my stuttering ended! Better late than never. Both my parents had already passed and I did manage to lose all enmity toward them. They hadn't been exemplary parents, to say the least and the other 4 children were treated much differently. They were more perfect and acceptable.
