Both parents stutter, plus dad has neurotic ticks. Problem was not that they did stutter, problem is they are highly nervous and self-conscious about it/me growing up dealing with that. They ignored my stuttering because that topic was also about them, we never even talked about it openly, and I was ashamed to bring it up because I thought it was my fault. Moving out really helped, as well as accepting it and simply laughing at it rather than ignore and punish myself. It also healed my neurotic psoriasis that parents called a chocolate allergy😄 Nowadays, I sometimes stutter or block when I’m too stressed or overstimulated so all in all I’m good
