My passion is having a loving family and home Sounds normal and not a passion to most, I know. But for me, it’s literally always been the dream! I’ve spent my whole life dreaming of the simple things, the day to day that most of us take for granted. And that’s because growing up, I never had it. I had a mom that never protected me, a dad that always told me I wasn’t good enough and a brother that well we won’t even go there.. I wasn’t even sure it would have been fair to have kids because what family would they have? Just parents, is that enough? But now my perspective is the two of us love this child so much that he will never know what’s missing!
This momcozy community has been a place for me to share, distantly connect and an outlet. I don’t have a mom, sister, aunt or female relative to talk about these things with so these communities have filled that gap for me.
I am so much more than a mom but also being a mom is what I’ve always been meant to be
Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt part of your story with us. Sometimes, it’s this very identity of being a mom that brings us together and helps us find the connection and understanding we didn’t know we needed.
We’re so grateful that Momcozy Community can be a place where you feel heard, supported, and connected. And we’re even more grateful to have you as such an important part of our community.
Thank you so much Momcozy! You ladies are literally the warmest most supportive brand and you not only create safe spaces for us mamas to share and heal, but you lead by example every single day
Very beautiful picture. I’m so glad that you feel safe to come here and share comfortably. You may not have female relatives to communicate with but you have all of us here. Family is what you make it, so glad you made a beautiful one and breaking the cycle bringing unconditional love to your very own. You’re doing such a great job, keep going mommy.
I can relate to your passion of being a mom and having a family. My kids and family takes up a good majority of my time and focus, so it is def a passion of mine as well!
My husband and I talk about this all the time that we just had no idea how amazing and rewarding it is to have a child! This little man fills our hearts and camera roll every single day
It takes so much strength to break the cycle and build the loving home you never had. Your little boy is so lucky to have a mom who loves him so fiercely. You are doing an incredible job, and I’m so glad you have this community!
This one really got me teary. I think creating the loving, safe family you always wished for is such a beautiful thing. Your little one is so lucky to have parents who love him so deeply. And I love what you said about being so much more than a mum, while also feeling like being a mum is what you were meant to be.
You are such a beautiful mother just by reading through your words I know that baby is loved and protected and will never know a life different! What you went through no child should have to experience and for that I send a hug to little you but know I think it’s incredible the cycle you are breaking and the life you and your husband are giving your precious one, you are so much more than a mom you are strength, resilience, passion, determination and immense love and honesty the list goes on
I read something that said god gives the clingiest children to moms who were never someone’s first choice and man is this kid obsessed with me I love every clingy second of it though!
Marissa, this is so powerful and deeply moving. The way you describe your dream of a loving family and home—as something many take for granted but you fought for—is everything.
You’re absolutely right: two parents who love their child fiercely can be more than enough. Your son will grow up knowing he is wanted, protected, and deeply loved, and that starts with the intention you’re bringing to every day.
It means a lot that this Momcozy community has filled the gap of not having female relatives to turn to. You belong here, and you’re seen. And yes—you are so much more than a mom, and being a mom is clearly where your heart was always meant to shine.
Thank you so much! It’s crazy, I worried about him not having a family so much until I actually got pregnant and then I was just flooded with so much love that I knew he would have plenty!
