How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 11 weeks in

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. I am in Spokane, 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 5 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
