Are you near a National Stuttering Association Chapter or one of the other support groups? You are not alone. I’m glad you found us here. It sounds like your parents are clueless. Maybe print some information for them from t he stuttering Foundation. For listeners they should hold eye contact and wait for you to speak. They shouldn’t say any of the things they said. Being an asshole increases tension. Increased tension makes it harder. I just reread your post. You need to learn about stuttering too. Everyone’s stutter is different. For some people it comes and goes. Other people can “pass” and people don’t realize that they stutter. My son’s stutter is really severe so we have to learn to accept it, deal with it and not let it be an obstacle to him living his life. Being part of the NSA is a game changer for us. It’s a source of all things positive.
