I grew up with both parents and sibling not being supportive of my stuttering, going as far as mocking or punishment for stuttering. Now in my mid 20s, I wonder how this has affected me emotionally and mentally as an adult, or if the severity of my stutter was made worse by it. I'm curious if there are any others on here that have had a similar upbringing or if there was any way to recover from an upbringing like this!
