Awful, this should have been an open conversation day one. I suffered with a lot of shame because I felt like I couldn't talk about it. Sorry friend....

Because mental health is the #1 issue with stutterers. (My opinion) I'm almost 40 and have been word-replacing for too long. I avoid my stutter so much I scramble in search of words that will leave m...

My parents always treated it like it was nothing. I've visited many psychiatrists and speech therapists, even though it didn't help that much. Just don't be patient with him, he doesn't need to feel ...

My Dad had a severe stutter but he just kept talking everybody's ear off. As a teen with a moderate stutter I felt embarrassed for him as I tried to hide mine by never talking. Now that I'm older I ca...
