I agree with Russ – stuttering is hardly devastating, but it takes a while for most of us to figure that out and we have a great deal of choice in how we deal with it. We all go though devastating episodes in the course of our stuttering, but if we dwell on those feelings and allow them to dominate our lives we become victims. Stuttering is only part of who you are and does not define you. Reaching out to other people (including other people who stutter) will help you become a well-rounded person. Many of us find that as we grow, take risks and connect with others, stuttering looms less large.
