I got laid off on Thursday, and I have no idea how to tell that to my family. I have had really poor luck with jobs the past couple of years and I don't know how to tell them that I lost another one.
But I'm less worried about the disappointment that they will have in me, and more worried about them trying to force me into yet another job.The last few jobs I have had, my family has pushed me into. I was miserable in all those jobs, and they have all ended badly. I feel guilty, and sometimes I feel like they use that against me to get the upper hand.
I dont want to disappoint them....but at the same time, I want to try and do what is best for me...I think they have a hard time understanding this though. So I don't know what to do at this point, because they wont understand. I want to use this as an opportunity to grow and change and become a better person...but I think my family will try and push me back down a road I feel only has a dead end. And it's not from lack of trying...I've been down the road multiple times, but it always turns out the same results...and I am tired of feeling like I am stuck.
How to I let my family know that I don't want them getting involved in this? I hate feeling like I need to keep my job loss a secret from them...but I know that if I tell them, they will constantly nag me about what I have to do...and I know it isn't what is best for me. How do I get my family to back off without pissing them all off?
