Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? - first time posting

    I was laid off 25 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I want a plan before I speak. Did it get easier afterwards?

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