Yes, I keenly remember how my parents’ regard and behavior changed toward me after age 4. I couldn't conceptualize that my speech was different, but they were embarrassed now when I spoke in public. I...
Please do all you are able to investigate the link to your childhood having triggered or encouraged your stuttering. Also, don't discontinue any non-psychological treatments. Do everything possible to...
bb wall, I stuttered from age 4-70! I did finally recover at the age of 70 through psychotherapy dealing with an abusive childhood. My stuttering was emotionally caused. My husband and I have 2 adult...
I am like 90% sure there is a gene that passes on stuttering. My dad, his brother, and my 2nd uncles all stuttered to some degree. Me and some of my cousins have a stutter or some type of speech imped...
I grew up as an angry kid and now I'm just an angry adult. I had thoughts that perhaps my emotions are related to my upbringing, but reading your comment I think I can be more confident in that corre...
Moses was also a stutterer and God chose him for a very important task. At first moses denied the call, because as we stutterers know, it is difficult for us to be a leader, but he truly wanted to obe...
No dude, stuttering upsets most people and hinders many of our social lives. I have hated stuttering since age 5 when it hopped into my little brain and never left. Exposure therapy works, but it is...

Yes, my parents just did nothing to help me, no speech therapy, etc but treated me terribly as if my not being perfect anymore was an affront to them. I was abused, and marginalized and I believed a f...
I can barely speak in front of my father. We barely talked during my childhood and he was very strict and "heavy" man. I am adopted and I think he never accepted me entirly, so I was always afraid to ...

Oh definitely people let their anger out on others, it’s why there is so much senseless violence in the world, specifically western culture…you and I have experienced it and would never think of doing...
Yes, it’s definitely part of maturing to come to the realization that our parents have their own stories, traumas, etc. But what frustrates me is that some people let their anger out on others. I have...
Forward_Sky, I hope you hold on. Your age, 18, is so difficult anyway, but dealing with stuttering only makes things worse. From what you've written, it might be useful to talk to a mental health pro...
