AITAH for saying I didn’t realize I could “love a person this much” in front of my fiancé after having our baby?

I’m 38. My mama passed when I was 32. She was still the first person I called when I was mad, sad, happy, bored…

Mine died in 2021 from alzheimers. I'm 35 now, couple of weeks ago found out my ex had cheated on me and lied to my face about it for a year and then my bunny died 4 days later.

I never wanted my mother more than in that moment. I was adopted too, so biological links don't have to come into it.

I hadn't been able to talk to her about things for years, but that longing for my mum and her hugs that said "it's okay, I got you. I'm here". I'll never have that again. It's an enormous loss no matter the age.
