Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? after 13 years as a marketing coordinator

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a marketing coordinator. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team.

Kids often pick up more than you think. A short, calm explanation helped mine feel secure.

I told my partner the same evening with a simple plan: what happened, what I was doing and what I needed. It was a relief.
