Yes, Anna Deeter is more than a disappointment, she maybe has helped someone but she makes everyone else feel awful. Don't go to her site if all you get is more depression and hopelessness. Many stutterers have become successful in their career fields. Some have posted on this Reddit. Attorneys, physicians corporate trainers too. As far as relationships, I was married to a professional for 53 wonderful years( he passed away at 81) who thought the sun rose and set because of me. He was never embarrassed by my speech and proudly presented me socially. We raised, wonderful, successful children. It is possible to stutter and enjoy a full life. I and many others are examples of both male and female stutterers who have had successful lives. Keep reading this Reddit for more examples and don't give up your hope. Sue
