Has this ever happened to any of you stutterers? My dad and his friend used to act like they had a speech impediment, pretending they had a lisp or stutter. But my whole life, my dad pretended he stutters, and I know he doesn't. He didn't go to speech therapy with me, and his mom doesn't talk about it or anything. And I felt like he was making fun of me, so one evening I went to him and said, "What are you trying to accomplish by talking like 'C-can you do this for me?' You don't stutter. Can you stop making fun of me?" He got pissed, and went downstairs to try again I said "What are you trying to accomplish by talking like 'C-can you do this for me?' Why are you doing this?" He was like, "Stop. When I was younger, I had a friend, and he and I would pretend to stutter or lisp, and it was kind of fun. But it doesn't apply to you, why are you so pissed?" Eventually, he listened and said if it made me uncomfortable, he would stop. He didn't!!!!!!! I don't know what to do anymore. I don't usually like the word "stutter" but I have grown used to it.
