I have a severe stutter and I struggle with it a ton. It makes me miserable and I hate it, but I still wouldn't rather not have been born. Also having a relative with a bad stutter has helped me a lot...I have a good role model and someone I can talk to about it who understands. I don't want to pass on my stutter, but no way am I going to let it keep me from having kids, especially when the chances of any given kid stuttering are fairly low. Out of all my granddad's eleven children and twenty some grandkids I'm the only one with a really severe stutter like him.
