Have I ruined my child's life? My son is 7, turning 8. He's had a stutter since he was 3. We took him to speech therapy for a bit and it helped. His stutter never went away but it was OK. This past year it's been getting worse, i lost my job and while we wanted to put him back in speech therapy, sessions are not cheap, we can't do it regularly. He doesn't seem to mind, or be bothered by it, but it's taking him a long time to complete a sentence. I feel terrible and am waiting for the day that will come soon where the kids start making fun of him. I've heard different things from people in this sub about therapy. Some people say it didn't help, some say it made it worse but making it feel there was something "wrong" with them. I don't know what to do, I'm so heart broken
