“Are you trying to manipulate me? It's working.” — Bridget Moynahan

I have become that mother I used to dread.

I miss the noise in New York: the sound of taxis and that constant buzz the city has.

I'm raising a child, and it's public. The media creates these dramas, and that's not what's happening in my life.

I'm not sure anyone - and I could be wrong in this - grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom.
