I started to cry reading all of this. 34 here and stuttered all my life. Would never wish it on anyone. There is nothing you can do about it. I cant say anything these others havent said. Stutters now a days have the internet. I looked for forums when I was young and there wasnt much. It's just good to know there are people out there like you and support you. The biggest hurtle is employment. When I was young the information out there was, work in warehouses or out of public eye. I'm sure everyone of us had to raise above this and put yourself out there. Took me till 22 to learn that if someone will sit there and listen to what you have to say. Then they really care about what you have to say. The others didn't care in the first place. No one is better than the other. If anyone has any questions or needs to talk, I'm here.
