I had a stutter and other speech problems when I was a child after suffering multiple instances of abuse that was eventually corrected through speech therapy. I still stuttered when I lost control of myself emotionally (rare) but that was about it till about 6 years ago. I met this narcissist and he abused me mentally for 5 years. Since then I have been constantly off emotionally. Now, if I don't take my social anxiety/depression medication, Paxil, I stutter constantly.
