I am a stutterer as well. Yeah I remember the constant humiliation and being made fun of, the bullying. It often included teachers, extended family members, and adults. My parents tried speech therapy, unfortunately, it was the Soviet version, and in their typical irony, they had put the only children's speech pathologist's office in my city, in a mental hospital. So to get to the appointment I had to witness some scary behavior from some of patients. Needless to say we had stopped going there after a while. I always wondered who came up with that setup, someone had a very dark sense of humor.
