I think Stacey and Scott are on to something. Guilt seems to be a huge issue for those of us who stutter huh? As I mentioned earlier, my mom carried around (and still does I think) a lot of guilt for not doing more to help me. As for me, I vividly remember when I got fired from a job 4 years ago, I felt guilty that I had kept my stuttering hidden (or so I thought). Complicating all the other things I was going through after losing a job I held over 20 years, was the notion that it was my fault, for not openly discussing my stuttering with someone. I realized soon enough that it was not my fault, but guilt hung around for too long!
