The Steady Support Kit
Support without disappearing yourself.
Replace guessing and rescuing with validation, clear limits, specific follow-up, and a shared plan for difficult moments.
Practical tools, not filler.
Support-versus-rescuing and validation-versus-agreement maps
Boundary scripts that name your action clearly
A shared pause-and-return agreement
A support-network and capacity check
A seven-day consistency experiment
Use it in the moment you are in.
