Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea?, quality inspector here

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as a quality inspector. I am in Louisville, in case local advice matters. 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 2 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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