I grew up in a household in which my stepfather didn't understand it. He often said that "I only stuttered when I lied". If that was the case, I must've lied a whole lot. It was hell on me and really wore on me mentally. I was worried that my mother was buying into that special brand of BS. Needless to say, after I graduated high school, I got out of there as soon as I could. If you need someone to listen, I'm here for you.
