Yes, the response went through. Both of them are a little different, so I do hope Judy will leave them. :)) I have often imagined how a conversation with my dad about stuttering would look like. He is still alive, but as I sad, we haven't talked in years. If it was just the stuttering, it might be easier for me to at least attempt it. But there is other childhood stuff, some of which is just now affecting me and my siblings as adults. I think the discussion we are having could easily morph into a discussion on forgiveness as well. Thats has been one of my challenges - to forgive, more for myself, not necessarily my parents, so that I can fully "let go". I have let go with my stuttering, finally allowing myself to "just stutter". Your thoughts have definitely spurred my own. I never looked at this issue from the persepctive of sorrow. It makes so much sense. I am glad you appreciated my share! Its good to get feedback when you share personal stuff!
