When we lose a job, the ramifications can be wide. Certainly it can mean big changes for close family and dependents. In the present financial climate, parents do provide extra financial support to grown up children. It hurts whe you can no longer do it.
Most people don’t welcome an enforced change in their life style like redundancy. Change of any kind is stressful and feelings of guilt and shame can make things worse!
