How do I tell my family about the layoff? after 14 years as a barista

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. There are 14 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team.

Kids often pick up more than you think. A short, calm explanation helped mine feel secure.

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.
