Starting to stutter at 18 I've been quite stressed out recently as my dad is currently being prosecuted for assault against another man. I haven't spoken to him for the past 2 months. I have started university in a foreign country and my mom keeps calling me and often asks me for advice about things I know nothing about ('Should I drop the charges?''Should we stay over at Grandma's to stay away from him?' and stuff like that). Over the past month or so, I've started to notice that when I'm speaking, I'm tripping over words, especially ones that begin with si/su and th/f, not only in English but also in my native language.This has never happened to me before. In my last phone call, I had to stop and try again several times to pronounce some words. For example, I wanted to ask 'What's the situation at home?' but it came out as 'What's the s-s-s-s- *had to stop* s-situation at home?' It doesn't happen all the time, it's not uncontrollable and nobody has seemed to notice it yet, but I've become quite self-conscious about the way I speak. Has anyone else experienced this? Could this be something or am I just massively paranoid? Thanks! Edit: grammar
