commentr/StutterFebruary 13, 2019

When I was pretty young (like 12 and under) my mom wouldn't really talk about it with me but she was obviously worried because my uncle would always tell her I'd grow out of it; spoiler alert, still have it. When i got in my late teens, when i talked I would occasionally stutter and that would prompt her to stop the conversation we were having and say some stuff like, "I wonder if you will grow out of your stutter" or "I wonder what I did wrong for you to have this". Talking about it doesn't really bother me, its just the way it was talked about by my only parent that kinda bothered me. Insinuating you did something wrong to make me have this just made me feel worse. Oh well though, guess its something i gotta live with at this point.
