Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea?

    I was laid off 21 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. How did you handle it?

    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.

    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.
