Telling my partner I lost my job - first time posting

I have been leaving the house at the same time each day so my kids do not notice. It has been a long 7 weeks. I feel ashamed even though the company cut a whole team. 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.

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