Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea?

    My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an accounts payable clerk. I do not usually post, so bear with me. I want a plan before I speak. How did you handle it?

    Shame is common after a layoff even when it is not your fault. Saying it out loud to one person first helped me.

    Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 8 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
