How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 18 weeks in

    I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. I worked as a school bus driver before this. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet. How did you handle it?

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