Is it normal i think i only truly love my son?

100% Normal

I've never felt in love per se. If I broke up with guys it was more regret losing what they can give me. As much as I dont want to admit it I think even my husband and mom I mostly like for what they provide me. I care for them but not like my son. My son is the only person I feel absolute love for and would do anything for and would miss profoundly. Not that I try to use people but if I look at my deep down feelings this is it.
Am I normal or no?

    I'm a father, and I think what you describe is normal. I'm also certain that it's one of those things about being a parent that nobody _really_ understands until they become a parent. Non-parents often find how their friends become fixated on their kid(s) weird and annoying. But if they're decent, responsible, caring people and they have a kid too, they often discover that they're just as susceptible to getting lost in the obsession.

    The only thing you need to be wary of is allowing your love for your child to turn into a nasty, clinging, restrictive form of fixation. You don't say how old your son is, but as he grows up, you need to give him space to figure out who he is and turn into the person he needs to be. You need to give him room to screw up, and you can be sure that he will. And you need to start getting used to the idea that, sooner or later, he will almost certainly disappoint you. As painful as it might be to accept, our kids do not exist to make us happy.

    Sort of. I feel a lot of love for my mom more than anyone else.

    You dont realize how much you love someone until they are taken away from you
