Ima tell myself "your parents are your biggest haters". I learned as an adult that it was literally only them that made me feel shitty. Friends nor strangers have said anything bad about my stutter. J...

I'll just hug him and cry. Without saying anything. I'll let him enjoy his childhood happiness and not ruin him psychologically with the harsh reality that awaits him....

Need advice

Need advice My mother cant accept or doesn't seem to realize how having a stutter affects my life and my mental health. She always compares my situation with others who have shown success in life.. H...

I’ve had a person tell me “well, I feel sorry for people who stutter because their parents didn’t get them into speech therapy in time”. I was bewildered by this and educated her about the nature of s...

I totally understand how it feels to not have family that accepts your stutter and is insistent on “trying to fix it”. That being said, as an adult now I wished that my parents/siblings had played a m...

She cares about you - but her care is slightly misguided. She sees it as a problem that can be fixed, and why wouldn't a parent want that for their child. Unfortunately like many other disabilities, y...

Never going to have children

Never going to have children My father is a stutterer as well and all my life I blamed him for having me, you know the struggle of stuttering and how hard it is to live like that, you could have spare...

How can I better support my son?

How can I better support my son? My almost 6yo son has had a stutter on and off for 2 years and right now it's the worse it's ever been. He has always had speech issues, suspected appraxia. He's made ...

As long as you make it clear to your son that the speech therapy is supportive and not a “cure”, I think it’s going to be ok. My parents tried to cure me in any way, including speech therapists but ...

I do agree with you about needing socialization. The way we did it, there were always lots of weekly classes and meetups with other children. I also agree with you about the importance of sports! I'm...

Idk, I hated school but I don’t think homeschooling would have been better. I wish my parents would build up my confidence instead of always trying to find a cure for my stuttering. It would be good t...

Facts. Having a child as a stutterer is selfish and evil...

I think its kind of evil to bring a child into this world when there was stuttering in the family before since its genetic. If it did go away for you maybe it will for him. Hope for the best I guess...

Thanks for sharing. Even my parents bent over backwards and took me everywhere to solve the problem. I was even visited by some kind of magician who wanted to cure me with copper bracelets. Thank yo...

I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I pray that you’re healed of this curse. My little boy is going through the same thing and it breaks my heart 😔...

As a person who stutters, I was also devastated when my second kid(who speaks very clearly and in a very advance level first started forming sentences), when she was 3. But then I changed my attitude ...

Every parent is different in those situations. If I did something like that my parents would've smacked me and told me to act right...

Did I cause my child's stutter? :(

Did I cause my child's stutter? :( Child will be there in July. Her language has always been amazing. I have been so proud of the way she talks. It's been amazing to see her vocabulary grow and her mo...

Do you even read the posts in this community? I know you live in Disneyland but having legitimate questions or concerns about having children if you stutter is not eugenics; it’s thinking about someon...
