Telling my partner I lost my job (Seattle)

My spouse does not know yet that I was let go as an IT help-desk technician. 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.
