Have The Conversation...What an excellent initiative BB!!

Often we can get so caught up with worries such as:

"when should I have the conversation?" "How do I start the conversation?" "what if s/he doesn't want to talk with me?" "What if I say the wrong thing?" "What if I make it worse?"

There is no right or wrong, just start talking, and be prepared to LISTEN and respond non-judgementally.
