try to find a hobby or an activity in which you do something with others, this might make that connection easier to make. Something like going to the gym or tennis where you play against other people....

My Dad would get irate with me and belittle me and he kept telling me to keep quiet. My Dad has finally accepted the fact that his son has a stutter. I’m almost 40 now and it was just recently that he...

When my son was a teenager I violated his privacy because he was making a poor choice. To say he was angry with me would be the understatement of the history of Reddit. I sat him down and explai...

Freedom, this is my second attempt at responding. The other lengthy response was lost to a iPhone glitch. I hope I can successfully reconstruct what I said. First, you owe it to other, younger stutte...

Freedom, I’m the widow of a retired jet carrier pilot. What did you do in the military? My dear husband received one MS at the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey and then earned an MBA after he re...

Thank you, Tony. I’ll find guy personally on Facebook. I’m Susan Beyer. I’ll friend you. Please friend me. I’d like to communicate by phone too. I think my phone number is on my profile. We’ll conn...

Hi, Tony, it’s Sue. I think it’s a wonderful opportunity to help those suffering and seeming to have lost hope. I stuttered but what I’ve read on this site breaks my heart. Individuals who pretend to...

CodusSupremus is my husband, and yes, it helps that we both stutter. We understand the nuances of stuttering first hand. Our son does not stutter, and I am grateful he has parents who do. I let our ki...

I am not a person who stutters, but am the parent of a child who stutters and SLP. *Anyone* mocking my child’s stutter is a hard boundary for me, especially loved ones. Siblings know they do NOT go th...

Experience from a 40 year old…

Experience from a 40 year old… Long post here… I’m 40. My stutter generally comes with certain word blocks. Most people don’t know that I have a stutter since I’ve learned to mask it well over the y...

First, tell her why you hung up. Because she might be thinking you hung up because you were mad, and it would help to let her know that’s not why. Then, I’d just talk to her (maybe over text if that’...

How old are you? I'm in the same position you're in, though I've only been stuttering for 5 years after getting my heart broken. I don't have any friends nor talk to my family due to constant disrespe...

>Is there one of them who is kinder than others? Definitely, there are some. But even though they are kind, I can see them keeping more & more distance from me with time. > Hopefully a wom...

Sorry you are experiencing this. It sounds terrible. Is there one of them who is kinder than others? Hopefully a woman who may have some empathy? Try talking to them one on one to let them know wha...

Opposite for me. Speaking to my own mom is really difficult for some reason 💀 Maybe it’s because I feel extremely comfortable with her, and I know she won’t judge me for my stutter....

I don’t think it’s offensive. I don’t know OP’s situation or what his stutter is like, but it sounds like his mom and him have a good relationship and she’s just looking out for his best interest. Got...

Yeah she doesn't mean any harm... She texted me today though saying that she's proud of me for how far I've come over the years....

My opinion....the fact your mom said your stuttering again recently and pointing that out...I find that kind of offensive like a put-down.....! My folks would never make a comment like that too me! Ma...

How do I support my partner better? I’m in a fix.

How do I support my partner better? I’m in a fix. I (32F) struggle with sensitivity to hormone changes in my body. I’m religiously taking therapy, take medication to deal with my symptoms, and do ever...

Wanted to add, if you can hook yourself with an ENFP non stutterer you will be getting ahead in the future. My dh is a stutterer. I remember we got like some crazy $400 sprint overage bill we didn’t k...
