I have stuttered since I could talk as well. Worse when I was younger but Ive gotten quite good at hiding it now that I’m 27. I have a 3 year old son who is talking now and boy is his stutter bad exactly like mine was. One part of me thinks it’s funny and cute and the other is kind of sad about it. The way I see it is we dealt with it fine at least I did and we grew up with parents who didn’t stutter. We can help our children and they can see that we also do it to and it’s okay. Not the end of the world. Don’t be to scared man is what I’m trying to say.
