Confront mom about neglect and boyfriend's influence

I'm planning to call my mom and express my concerns about her boyfriend's behavior and how it's affecting my sister. I'm worried that she won't listen to me and that we'll have a big argument.

What I wish I knew
"How to approach the conversation without being too confrontational or accusatory"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest and direct, but also try to understand your mom's perspective and feelings."
