The King of Cups Upright As Advice

Say what needs to be said without making your reaction someone else's burden.

Acknowledge the feeling, explain the issue, and make a clear request or decision. You can be angry without insulting, disappointed without threatening, and compassionate without agreeing.

If someone needs your support, offer what you can actually provide. A modest commitment you keep is more useful than reassurance that disappears when the situation becomes difficult.
