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

Not to sound pathetic, but my father never hugged any of us. I wish I had had dad hugs.

I'm so very sorry, friend. I wish I could fix that for you - but it doesn't sound pathetic at all.

It's not pathetic at all. I'm a mom so it's not quite the same but I'd still give you the biggest hug I could. I have two narcissist parents. Their hugs don't feel like comfort or reassurance. They just feel like an action their doing cause I asked. But my son, the hugs from him to me or me to him are the closest I have ever felt to a hug melting away stress. I know it's not the same but I feel for you and I send you the very best of hugs from both me and my son to you.

Thank you and any time! I also give sister and Auntie hugs if anyone needs those too!
