Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? after 11 years as a line cook

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. I have been trying to stay organised about it. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. What did you say?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
