I hope this provides some assurance. Twice I've had to move in with family. Once in the 80's when Defense cutbacks knocked two consecutive jobs out from under me, and once in the 90's when the company I worked for was raided. The first time was somewhat OK. My GF at the time dumped me, further corrupting my self-esteem, but I got over it. The second time did not go so well as I had to move in with my current GF and her family. There was a lot of friction, but my Sweetheart and I now have our own place and are relativity OK.
This sort of thing happens more than you might think. I hope this eases any embarrassment you might have.
Since you have projects right now this might be the time to market yourself as an independent contractor. It sounds like you already have 2 clients and working for yourself is really the only way to escape the "who cares about that" mentality.
