I stutter, have two kids, my daughter stutters also since she first started talking 1.5yrs old. It was very mild, so I never put her into speech therapy. I didn't want her to be hyper-aware of her speech disorder. She continued to be very mild until her teenage years when the stutter disappeared. I asked her about it, she said she did remember she stutters when younger but it vanished. I still worry that the stutter might re-appear later in her life. My other child doesn't stutter. As for me, I had speech therapy in public schools for 10+ years, I was a mild stutterer, it didn't help me. I still stutter but my stutter has gotten very very mild.
