Thank you for your kind post. I’m good. I enjoyed a 54 year marriage to an executive,the most amazing man I’ve ever known. We raised two wonderful and successful children. After a lifetime of attempting to conquer my mild-moderate stuttering, I’ve come to terms with it. I recently turned-down an opportunity for a speech evaluation at our local medical school. Perhaps if I weren’t totally fluent in many venues I would avail myself of some therapy. I’m totally fluent on the phone and many individuals have no idea stutter at all. Perhaps if this was years ago I would continue the interest in treatment but for now I’ll just enjoy the joys of my present situation. I do support the stuttering population and personally suggest all continuing efforts to overcome this condition. Adding the caveat that self acceptance, after all effort to ameliorate their stuttering, can be healthy.
