I can relate. I'm 24 (M) and my family doesn't really talk about it unless I bring it up. And when I do bring it up, it's often just an awkward acknowledgment or something like that which kind of makes me angry. Where I live speech therapy isn't a thing, so treatment was left up to me and consisted of buying books online or trying to ignore it when I was younger. I often just don't get taken seriously as well. And my mom is getting pushy about me finding a girlfriend, basically ignoring that I can barely talk and that it's hindering my ability to do that. I brushed it off at first, but that's getting harder to do. Sometimes I think that if they didn't ignore it and actually read up on it things would be a bit better, but that's way in the past now. They thought I barely talked as a child because I was just apathetic or really shy or something, and not because I was terrified of stuttering. I do have a college degree and a master's, but it was so hard to make friends. It's hard to be among a group of people and just get brushed up whenever you try to say something. Let's just say that the country where I live isn't the most open or enlightened and that people see things like suttering, body deformities, etc as a funny joke. I can understand that among children, but not adults. ​ Sorry for the blog post, but I guess the point is this. Just forcefully bring it up and ask for help to find speech therapy or something if that's available to you. I'm doing it for the first time and I want to see how it goes, but it's a start. I've heard it can work.
