Your sister should show you patience. It kind of feels like you’re not getting the support you need. Personally, for me, my stutter is a source of shame for me. I don’t know about you, but I feel like it is not the healthiest technique on your sister’s part that the second you stutter, she jumps on you, frustrated, for something you can’t control. Like I said, my stutter is a source of shame and embarrassment for me. If a family member or friend immediately snapped at me after I stuttered, I would feel even worse about myself. I really think that your sister isn’t showing you the respect and support you need and deserve. Having a stutter is tough. Having a stutter is NOT a choice. Yes, there are certain breathing techniques and a speaking speed and pace that most people can control that could most likely improve your stuttering. But until you find the coping mechanism/technique that works for you, you need your sister’s support. Just know that the pain you are feeling is valid. I hope you have a good rest of the day today—try and do some activities that take your mind away from your sister and your stutter for a while. Thank you for sharing. I hope things get better!
