So, there is this difficult conversation you need to have.  You know that person is going to get emotional.  You might even feel a chance that you could get a little angry or they could trigger another negative emotion.  How is your EQ - Emotional Intelligence?  Can you read their emotions?  Can you control your emotions?

There is a fine line between logic and emotion.  To influence someone, you have to have both.  Emotions will override logic every time.  I am going to assume that you can form a logical argument here (I know I shouldn’t do that).
