Never going to have children My father is a stutterer as well and all my life I blamed him for having me, you know the struggle of stuttering and how hard it is to live like that, you could have spared me this suffering I vowed never to have children and pass this horrible gene, I just don't understand how people who stutter can do this to their child? What is the difference between beating your kids and passing on your stuttering? My niece is 7 years old and she started stuttering my heart just broke down she is so happy now and her stuttering is getting worse each time I see her
