Stammering around parents Does anyone here stammer/stutter more around their parents? I've come to realise that I struggle way more when I'm around my mother and a little in front of my father. Maybe because my mum saw it fit to ram me into speech therapy as soon as she could I feel more obligated or forced to speak fluently? And when I can't, it makes it worse. Same thing with my dad but he's not really as bothered as mum is. In fact my mum organised a get together with her best friend and her daughter. But when we got there they both left me with the daughter who used to stammer but has become better with breathing techniques. But you can still tell she struggles. I don't know why but I was really miffed about it. I've told my mum that is rather just speak how I usually do without having to think about techniques. But she doesn't seem to understand. I don't know why I'm so passionately angry about it. The daughter took me to her flat and gave me a packet containing breathing techniques she used. Which I already knew due to how much speech therapy I've been on, but it wouldn't have helped me anyway. Does your stammer become worse around parents or anyone in particular. And do you have this pressure from them to not stammer anymore? Let me know, I'm really curious.
