Telling my partner I lost my job

    I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. There are 16 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I want a plan before I speak. How did you handle it?

    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.

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