Should I be angry with my grandad? I asked my mother what had caused my stutter ever since I was a kid and she said it was not genetic . But she said that it may have been due to my grandad who used to shout at me when I was around 5 and it worsened when I started nursery . This took place in another country where I had no support and overtime it worsened . Should I be angry with my grandad or not? I don’t know if my mum is telling the truth though as she doesn’t have any proof but I do remember when I was small he used to shout at me when doing school homework with me . But even now he says that you need to fix your stutter , he said it’s embarrassing and you will live with it forever unless you fix it . It angers me so much but should I just tell him you caused this .
