I can't speak for anyone's son but mine, but my son is overly attached to me and does love me. But he is so very self-involved th at he never asks about me, my life or how I'm doing and he never calls me on my birthday (doesn't even remember it). It is not about love with him. He loves me. I know that. It is all about his peronsality. He can not get past caring only about himself. He is 36. Unlikely to suddenly develop a strong sense of caring about anyone about himself and his little boy. At least he cares about his son. And he was brought up in a house that considered caring toward others and generosity almost more important than anything. My other kids picked it up, but he did not.
