Were I in your situation, I'd lie my ass off to my family. But that's just the kind of family I have: pleasant lies are preferred to hard truths. What does it matter why you lost your job, really? I'd gloss over it and just tell them that you lost your job and the economy sucks and you're rewriting your resume, etc.
And I have completely separate Twitter and Tumblr accounts. One that's fannish and uncensored, and then one that my family and coworkers can read. And now that I think about it, that seems sort of weird. Look, I learned early on how to be deceptive to avoid uncomfortable conversations.
And I think your coworkers are right, I think you will find something better.
