But like you, i did dread the possibility of having kids who stutter before my son was born, so it wasnt as easy or straightforward as my earlier comment made it seem. thinking back now, a large amount of the fear is actually somewhat selfish. Bc i hated my stutter so much (or at least until i went to therapy and learn to be more accepting), i was actually dreading the possibility there may be two stutterers (my kid and me) together, sp-sp-sp-eaking like this to others, and how embarrassing itll be for us, or me mostly, bc having one stutterer (me) is embarrassing enough. But you’ll learn that love transcends all that. Whatever your kid is born with, you will love him and be there for him and not in the slightest embarrassed by it.
