SO meeting parents for the first time

Next weekend, my BF will be meeting my dad and SM for the first time.  They have both been very supportive during this process (in the midst of a divorce) and welcoming of the idea of a new relationship.

I am SO incredibly nervous.  I do struggle with some social anxiety in general, so I am sure that's not helping. 

Any advice on anyone who has BTDT?  The last time I had to introduce someone to my parents it was 2005.

Hold me.

    Reintroducing bf to my parents was hard. But we got through it.

    I suggest just letting things happen. Dont try to force a connection.

    Itll be good! Good luck!

    I live with my dad, I was dating BF maybe a month before I prepped him with the story of my dad (I may or may not go into that later) and brought him over. It was weird and awkward but we just let everything organically fit together however they would. Things have worked out just fine ever since.

    My parents were skeptical of bf until they saw him interact with the kids.

    My parents had a hard time looking past us at 15 and 18 when we broke up having a screaming match in the basement and all the breakups that followed in much the same manner.

    But my parents hated xh. They didnt support us getting married at all.

    Thanks for the support/ feedback.

    I am sure the buildup is probably worse than the actual event, but I can't get over how nervous I am!

    The build up is the worst part

    Agreed. Anticipation anxiety is the worst.
