Ok so I am the third stutterer here with fighting parents. I remember my young self fearing to become my dad. Everything about him revolted me. He was a drunk and the worst husband. I wept for my moth...

I think I understand why people are confused about your question, but I think I understand what you're saying in a sense. It sounds like your upbringing played a big factor in anxiety you have around...

I'm also a 25 year old female who has stuttered her whole life. I am the only person in my family who has a speech issue, as far as I know. I wonder if somewhere further back in my ancestry my relati...
