Plan How to Tell Your Parents You're Moving to the Other Side of the World
You have booked the flight, or you are about to, and now comes the harder part: telling your parents you are moving somewhere they cannot easily visit. This plans the conversation itself, the message, the likely objections, and what to offer alongside the news so it lands as a decision, not an ambush.
