Dear Tracy

 

I'm a 38 year old male professional whose life has been blighted by a pronounced lisp which began in my early childhood. It's been the bane of my life, both in a work-related and a social capacity. I find it difficult to make friends due to my impediment, especially with regards to members of the opposite sex, who I always think are inwardly sniggering when I speak to them. Only the other night, at a dinner party, a young lady burst out laughing when I told her that my favourite Jane Austen novel was Sense And Sensiblity.

 

Any help or advice you can give will be most welcome Tracy because I can't go on living my life under this constant cloud of misery and shame.

 

Yours faithfully
