Sending lots of love. I moved from another country to the US and my stuttering also worsened after a wonderful period where I thought I had out it behind me. Culture shock is no joke—it’s very destabilizing on so many level/: the language, the day-to-day, but also your expectations about relationships, friendship, etiquette, support. I believe our inner selves are just protesting against the discomfort of the move, and we need to listen. Find something that reconnects you with yourself. Maybe a group fo expats? A therapist? A hobby? And your husband needs to support you. Leaving your world behind is a HUGE sacrifice. But it can get better! A big hug!!!
