Plan a difficult conversation with someone close

Help me plan a difficult conversation with someone close.

Who: [partner, parent, sibling, adult child, friend]
What's going on: [facts, in my words]
What I want from the talk: [outcome]
What usually goes wrong: [raised voices, silence, blame]
When and where I'll try: [optional]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A calm opening line.
2. Three points to cover, in order.
3. Questions to ask them, not only statements.
4. How to end with a clear ask or next step.
5. When to pause and try again, and when to point me to Relate or another service instead of pushing on.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. This is help with wording and planning, not legal, medical or counselling advice; point me to GOV.UK, Citizens Advice, NSPCC (0808 800 5000), Childline (0800 1111), Samaritans (116 123) or Refuge/National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247) where that fits, and call 999 if anyone is in immediate danger. UK English. If this is domestic abuse or I feel unsafe, call 999 in an emergency or the National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247 (Refuge).
