Michelle, thanks for your kind thoughts. I did receive some therapy as a kid but that didn't last long because I became too embarassed to go. I do continue to hide my stuttering all I can but do know that it is okay if I am a little less fluent with certain people now. I hide my stuttering with my family the same way that I do with everyone else - switch words, paraphrase, etc. My habits to hide my stuttering apply to everyone and work the same. However, I am less nervous around my family and tend to have more casual conversations, which is usually easier to control which words I use.
