I really hope my future children/child does not have a speaking disability. My stutter has undoubtly taught me many valuable lessons about myself as a person and as a member of society. But I truly hope that my future children do not have to experience what I have. Having a speaking disability is difficult. No, it is not the worst thing in the world but it surely is no walk in the park. Most people do not realize the very real psychological and physical effects left by a speaking disability. Social anxiety, stress, and self esteem issues are only the beginning of the impact it has. Although I do thank my stutter for the many things it has taught me about myself, I really hope my future children, and anyone else, does not have to face the challenge of stuttering. Thank you r/stutter, you guys are awesome for being so supportive and positive. Feels good to know that there are others out there that experience what I experience.
