Don't believe everything Dexter says. He is a sociopath deprived of human emotions. As Vogel noted, he believed in the lie he created. He didn't love his son. Instead of spending time with him he was too busy killing people. And he didn't love Hannah, otherwise he wouldn't turn her to the police in the first place. He had exactly the same dreams about living happily ever after with Rita, until Rita died and he realised he didn't love her.

Deb was the axis of his social life, the responsibility for Deb soaked into his brain with the Harry's Code. When Deb died, the society lost any meaning to him, there was no need in the "blend in" rule anymore. So he run away into the mountains.

There is no cliffhanger by the way. We know that the Dark Passenger is there and the urge is growing. It's only a matter of time before it calls for blood again. And Dexter will inevitably kill. Maybe in a few months, maybe in a decade like his teenage idol Tooth Fairy. But he will. You can see it in his eyes in the very last seconds of the episode.
