You all know that my stutter returned. I’m now 78f and I’m tired of the fight. Please, none of you younger fighters stop the struggle. DONT give up. There’s too much on the horizon. Drugs might be the answer along with therapy. My stutter has not defined me. There’s so much more to us than how we speak. Maximize all of you. Educate yourselves, have confidence in your other skills. There is even long term romance. There are individuals who will love and accept you for the total you. I can attest to that having been married to the most amazing man I’ve ever known for 54 years. He presented me proudly in every social and professional venue. There are people who will value you.
