I recently got laid off from my job due to a reorganization and cost-cutting measures. I made the decision not to tell my parents about it because they tend to stress over everything, especially my mom, who is older and I worry about her health. My sister knew about my layoff, but I asked her to keep it private. Unfortunately, she ended up telling my mom, and during a family reunion this weekend, my mom publicly criticized me for not having a stable career since graduating college six years ago, implying that my layoff was my fault. It was really hurtful because my family just doesn't understand how tough the job market is right now. They see my sisters with stable careers and think I'm failing because I couldn't hold onto my job. Meanwhile, all my friends are still employed, which has led me to question my own abilities. Has anyone else gone through something similar? I’m looking for advice on how to get back on track.
