Ma’am. This is an opportunity to show your son he’s not alone and show him how strong you are even though you have a stutter. Like many of us, growing up alone with a stutter was heartbreaking because I felt nobody understood my pain and how hard it was be unable to speak when you knew exactly what you wanted to say. YOU have been gifted this amazing opportunity to be there for your son and RELATE with him where so many of us felt alone. I understand the pain and anxiety of not wanting a child to experience the struggles you have as a parent, but good parenting is not shielding your child from conflict and hardship but instead equipping them with the tools to face it bravely and come out stronger than you did.
