My dad told me to “spit it out” at 5 years old. I never had the relationship with him I had with my mom and brother who understood (mom stutters) and tried to make me feel human. I never felt I could ...

I would literally have a simple conversation that goes as follows: 1. Dad I noticed you repeated words that I struggled with. 2. I assume you know that I have a speech condition called a stutter, whi...

Me and my dad had an argument and I made a really good point, like a point so good you couldnt say anything but yeah ur right. I didt stutter once. So instead of realizing he was wrong he said "where'...

My mum did it when I was about 10. I am 58 and I still remember and feel it to this day....

My brother has mocked me. My mom has said insensitive things like "The way you talk makes people uncomfortable" If you feel safe to, maybe tell them that it was hurtful? You'd know best if they'd ...

I've just been told "to just spit it out" by my dad. My friend's mom hit me on the head with a wooden bowl when I was a kid, when I was eating dinner at their place. They did have amazing dinners th...

No family members have ever mocked me, but my dad used to always get visibly frustrated when I stuttered. I am fully convinced that he made my stutter worse as a result....

Both my father and uncle would tap me on the back of the head when I started. It was embarrassing for sure but more embarrassing that it stopped my stutter every time. It only encouraged them...

I am also much worse around my extended family. They are a loud bunch who talk over each other and i think that pushes me over the edge of fluency. I have skipped some family gatherings over the year...

Neither of you understand what a stutter is or how to cure it, this is ridiculous. You’re not flawed at all this is just apart of you, stop trying to fix it. The best thing you and your family can do ...

I stand by what I have said and have done. In the future I will do so again in the future. Your comment and that comment that went along with this picture is totally uncalled for and extremely hurtful...

The only time my wife see my stuttering is when I’m mad or nervous. I usually break my conditioning if either of these situations present it self. She would typically just laugh at me and we kind of j...

Been together for 7 years and married for 1. When it’s with the right person you don’t even think about your stutter. Even when my husband and i argue he lets me finish my sentences lol. He’s wonderfu...
