Turned 23 month and a half ago, and pretty much have the same story. My stutter didn't stick around till I was 16, my people were the outcast and weirdos. Was constantly told I'd never achieve anything. Am an outcast in my own family. Feel same way with wanting to fight for the life I deserve instead of giving in to the inferiority I've been shown. 2 weeks ago went to a speech therapy evaluation, where they told me a successful life is possible. Also told me my stutter is a neurological disorder and should own it. Apparently I've been treating myself with the same abuse I've been shown since I was younger. Also been constantly switching from one abusing relationship to another abusive one cause that's all I've known. I'm finally starting to change and possibly see hope.
