That's sad how you father thinks... makes me sad only when I read it. I'm sorry for you that your stutter is so bad. I can imagine how it is for you. I have a mild stutter but it effects my life for almost 40 years. I'm now 42 and finaly came to a point that I embrace it. But that took a long time and much misery. I was always hiding my stutter and always afraid that someone could hear it. But okay, I know that I'm a litlle lucky to have a mild one, I'll be aware of that.
