I had a therapist tell me that if you do the right things in childhood Stuttering is 100% curable, that fucked me up so hard. I did recover in childhood was stutter free for 2 years and during puberty it came back worse. My therapist blamed my mom for pressuring him to stop sessions cause I was cured, when he thought I need more sessions and I wish he hadn't told me that cause now I feel some resentment. I just wish I could parent myself at that age and take me to a good therapist the moment it started. My parents didn't care even though one of them grew up with a stutter and had another child that stuttered severely and was being harshly bullied from kindergarten. Gosh I went to my mom crying at 3-4 telling her I was being mocked that was my earliest memory and they waited until I was 8 to get me to s therapist, at that point I was a stutterer and even then I did recover but they just did the wrong things and now I'm here depressed af and a total failure.
