I'm 40 and I've pretty much stuttered my whole life. It's definitely not been easy. I'm a nurse and I feel like my professional life is stalled where it is. I've been essentially told I don't have the personality (in different words) to be a manager or team leader but I guarantee it's because of my stutter. I always get asked when I'm going to go back to school to become a nurse practitioner but the thought of having a job where I'd need to talk more is horrifying to me. I can say that I was lucky to find a husband who doesn't care about my stutter. Some days I can barely string 3 fluent words together and other days I stutter 3 times. Most days (especially recently) I lean more towards the former but my husband never waivers. Life can be tough but you are tougher. ❤️❤️
