I have hung out with a single mother in your situation before. She has a special needs son who is 9 I think, and a daughter who is perfectly normal that is a couple years younger than him. The little girl doesn't get half the attention that the boy does, and the mother is horribly stressed having them. Being with them at a pizza putt for one night even stressed me out because the boy is more than a handful. I don't know how she does it without strangling the boy to be honest. So I feel for you, I really do. Don't look down on yourself for not being so attached to them, with all the stress you have I don't blame you for nor being able to get attached. Maybe look for places or programs in your area that help out with special needs kids that way they can take him off of your hands and relieve some of that stress every now and then.
That i don't have that Motherly Bond.
