Hiding a layoff from the family, bad idea? (update)

    I was laid off 13 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. There are 6 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. 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.
