Wow that's some bullshit no one should have to put up with yet so many of us seem to have this happen in some setting.  Clearly they don't desire to change and you aren't the problem. Stupidity can be very powerful. It's sad that some people especially the old and the ignorant think tough love is applicable to stuttering. I didn't know my grandfather stuttered until I was well into adulthood. He rarely spoke to anyone and was a grouchy grouch to everyone: turns out he had a stutter growing up and his mother was convinced she could beat it out of him like... If he stuttered she was hitting him with anything handy.  I'm not sure if your situation but if you're a dependant on them for health insurance you may want to milk those benefits to get more support to help you cope with this situation.  You might have to keep your head low and who knows for how long but make sure your next living situation is as stable as you can find. You don't want to jump from the frying pan into the fire because I would not want to be there either but it's a tough world out here and finding tolerable jobs and making ends meet can be difficult. I knew friends who got emancipated at 16 who were then experiencing intermittent homelessness sometimes over age 25.  If you can't safely leave Please wrap yourself in the protective knowledge that they are truly being cruel to you and it really would cost them $0 to leave you the fuck alone.  If you are in the US and under 21 or even under 25 in some places you may be eligible for youth services where they may be able to help you find a good job or safe housing. You would be able to get this information if you are in the US and dial 211.  Actually 211 has a website now https://www.211.org/  boy does that phrase make me sound old.
