This episode shows that conversations we worry about can actually go well. After David accidentally "outs" Patrick to Patrick's parents, the parents run off. He tells Patrick what happened, and the two decide that Patrick should come out to them formally. To his surprise, Patrick's parents reaffirm their love for him and share they were upset earlier because they wish he felt comfortable telling them sooner. The holidays can create a lot of nervousness when we worry our family won't approve of us or when we have to meet our partner's parents, so let this episode reassure you that the holidays may go better than you expect!
