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

    I was laid off 8 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. There are 5 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. What did you say?

    Do not wait until a bill surprises them. The longer it goes, the harder it gets.

    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.
