Confession #3.
I still haven’t come out to my parents. I’ve been waiting for an opportune moment my entire visit — a chance for me to toss off some casual bon mot to clue them in. I keep formulating them in my head based on our conversations, but then they never give me the setup for the
punchline. Since I’m leaving on Wednesday morning, I have a feeling it’s not going to happen this trip home.
Matt, this is giving me flashbacks to the time I came out to my parents. I kept waiting and waiting for them to open the door…it never happened. Finally, I sat them down and said I needed to talk to them…and out it came…simply, sweetly and honestly. No drama. I wish you the best, becaus eI know how nerve-wracking coming-out can be. I’m sending you lots of good thoughts & hugs. Much love, my friend…
