Sorry I wasn't clear. You absolutely need to improve your communication because you're right, severe struggle is very difficult to live with. I don't think focusing on fluency and trying to control is the way to go about that. The things we do to avoid stuttering make it more difficult. When I say accept and learn how to better communicate, I'm talking both in terms of making communication much easier and feeling more comfortable with your speech.
