Hi Jen, Great question! I believe the conventional wisdom is that a traumatic event can trigger the ONSET of stuttering, but does not CAUSE it. There must be an underlying predisposition in order for stuttering to 'hang on'. Is there any history of stuttering at all in your family? I understand your desire to ascribe blame somewhere, but I think that you need to let this individual off of the hook... Best, Charley
