"How can I best support you?" I come across so many people who get an initial negative or fear-based reaction from their family members. Although our families are well-meaning, they want us to remain financially stable. And they view making a career change as scary, financially and otherwise. Especially if you're in a "great" job now, they may think you're crazy to give that up. They can certainly voice their concenres, but then they need to set that aside and ask how they can help and support.
