It's no crime for parents to love their kids but it is well-documented that sometimes, the ways in which this is done way oversteps the mark of acceptability. There are many families that have weird dynamics because parents can't accept that their children have increasing levels of independence when they grow up, and a life that doesn't completely revolve around mom and dad.
Perhaps one of the worst cultural phenomena related to this dynamic is boy moms, those mothers who develop an unusually close and protective relationship with their sons and throw a tantrum whenever they think that this special relationship is going to be threatened. These kinds of moms often don't take well to their sons bonding with anybody but them at any age, but the girlfriends and wives that appear as they get older are often a big trigger for them. In boy mom world, there can only be one important woman in the life of a son.
