Communication · Free planning tool
Prepare for a difficult conversation
Explore optional wording for discussing separation, only when direct communication is safe. This is not a script you must follow.
Safety comes first
If there have been threats, coercion, stalking or fear, a face-to-face announcement may not be safe. You are not required to discuss separation directly. A trained safety service can help with a plan tailored to you.
No script is shown by default. If unsure, use specialist support rather than a generic script. In Australia, see 1800RESPECT safety planning ↗. In the US, visit The Hotline ↗.
Build an optional starting point
Choose a situation that most closely reflects what you want to communicate. Nothing is sent to our server.
Your draft wording
These examples are general, not a way to control the other person's reaction. Adapt them or ignore them.
