Judging parents can be toxic for your personal development, depends ofcourse, I am talking about my experience. If you are looking forward to college, use this opportunity to get a little away from them. Like take admission in a different city. Don’t let stuttering influence every decision. We have a handicap, yes, but people live with worse ones. My worst time was during school. Then it became better in college, thank god! Even better when I started working. But went really downhill since a few years and is slowly getting better now. Also try to remember that there will be phases in your stutter. Some good years some ok and some bad. When we have the good ones it’s easy to forget the bad ones. But try to be mindful of how things in your life affect your stutter. For example mindfulness long term works wonderfully for me. Same for exercise. Drugs are tricky. Weed for wonderful for initial years, but now it just unleashes this terrible insecurities. Mdma is usually ok in micro doses and so is lsd.
