*VENT* I feel like my dad is disappointed in me. As far back as I can remember I always had a stutter. Not too severe, never with my close friends, but I could never ever pronounce open vowels, o, e, a, but especially I. It’s only become a recent problem for me where I haven’t been able to say any form of “I love you” that includes starting with love. I feel like when any family member says it, they don’t understand that I physically cannot reciprocate. My father has always been supportive over my stutter, but I feel like it makes him disappointed when I don’t say I love you back. sorry for the vent😪
