Telling my partner I lost my job (Chicago)

    I was laid off 26 weeks ago and have not told my family because I do not want them to worry. Any experience at all would help. 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.
