This is kind of good, in a way. Hear me out, please. Practicing alone won’t help you, imo. If your mum says these kinds of things to you, it’s going to make you immune to such things from other people in the future, or so I’d like to think. As much as I sympathize, she is kind of right. You will have to suck it up, still though, she is one of the last people to say that to their kid. I hate my stutter, but nobody outside elementary school has ever brought that up with me, but mine isn’t severe, so it might be different for other people.
