I'm against it in this instance because I'm not suffering. Stuttering sucks and I hate it but I'm not suffering. If I were, I wouldn't have gotten as far in my life as I have. And my mom and I have talked before. Believe me she knows how I feel about all this. I spoke with her about it again this evening. We are on the same page. I was mainly asking this question to see if anybody else had a parent who said this or something similar. I do appreciate all the responses :)
