I stopped caring about stuttering at all once I turned 35 as it is a permanent disability.age 18 to 32 were bad years in my life. I lost my mom at 22 and lost my dad at 30. I have to handle terrible family struggles in addition to stuttering. I got married at 27. Now I'm 42 years of age. I got 2 boy kids ,13 and 5 who never stutter. Got a good understanding and very supportive wife. So I gradually forgot stutterering and never care about it these days. I am a software engineer,I don't interact with society much but do the work good enough and equipped skills and knowledge to be stress free. Time will solve the suffering and mental health issues and life will only get better later on for stutterers so stop worrying and talk to your lovable people and enjoy your life..don't miss your youth life.
