My stuttering goes mostly undetected by people since I block really bad but am pretty good at finding alternative words and messing with my breathing. But that's all out the door now. My stuttering is awful and I'm not even fighting it anymore. I'm blocking and stuttering like I was in middle school (okay maybe not that bad but close). The tension in my voice is bad, even while talking to my kids and husband. My daughter who stutters is also having fluency issues. She's prone to anxiety so it makes sense. Although we have a stable home, her life is very disrupted. All our lives are disrupted.
