I stutter most in front of my mom Out of all people, my mom gets the worst of it. I guess I'd rather that than be perfectly fluent with her and a stuttering mess everywhere else in the world. My stutter has been getting recently worse, stress related I believe. For some reason I have fewer and fewer fluent moments with her these days--which upsets me. Meanwhile with most other people, its much less noticeable to the point where I can hide it well. Does anyone else stutter mostly at home?
