How do I tell my family about the layoff? - 26 weeks in

I was laid off 26 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. I do not usually post, so bear with me. Bills are coming up and I cannot keep this quiet.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, 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.
