My stutter is a bit worse around my parents, my mom worse than my dad. It never used to be like that though. After my parents split up when I was like 20, I still lived with my dad. I've always had regret about not visiting my mom as much which I think made my stutter worse and worse with her. And pretty much the big reason why I don't visit her as often as I'd like to is because of how bad my stutter is and I don't really know how to talk to her. There's never been any bad blood or anything between us so it sucks. I've been talking to her more and more through text though so that's been nice. TL:DR: Stutter around parents usually more often especially my mom but there wasn't any abuse, etc.
