I stutter only around my mother When I was a kid, I had a strong stutter, and my mother tried to "get rid of it" through speech exercises she was giving me (it didn't help). Now, as an adult, I don’t stutter anymore with other people, but when I talk to my mom, it comes back, and I feel this heavy weight on my heart. It makes me feel small, like I have no self-esteem around her. Has anyone experienced something similar?
