Caught Between

I find myself in this situation a lot! Everytime people ask if I have any children, I'm not sure what to tell them. Sometimes I'm honest and tell them the truth, but then they get quite not sure what to say next with this look of pity. Other times I just lie and say no but then I feel so guilty. Like I just dismissed the fact that I do have a child. I have no idea what the right thing to do is. Then there are times when I don't say enough. When people ask me things like how are things on bad days, I never tell them what I really feel. There so many times I don't say enough because I don't think they can handle my answer or maybe it just cause I don't think it really matters.
