Hey man I’m around the same age too and I know what you’re going through. I’m so sorry about how your parents are man that’s not easy at all. Like what other people said that, sometimes we have better days than worse days. Just know that the stutter doesn’t make you who are you. It took me a long time to learn that lesson but when I did it helped me out a lot. I began to think of my stutter as a part of me not all of me. But I struggle too and there’s days where I don’t even want to talk cause I know I’m going to stutter. We just need to keep our heads up and enjoy all the good days :) but making friends online and joining a support group is a great idea. One thing that also helped me was joining clubs I was interested in and even though i would stay quiet first, because I enjoyed the people and topics there I would feel more relaxed which made me stutter less. It’s hard at first but it’s like diving into cold water. Sometimes gotta go right in :) you got this man!
