Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident

Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident I never noticed the closeness being built. I just assumed it was love, and assumed what I owed because of it, without either of us ever saying it out loud. Short version: Trauma bonding is usually described as something that happens to you, almost by accident, through unpredictable reward. A 2025 Cambridge study, interviewing eighteen women with sustained attachment to abusive partners, found something sharper underneath that: the closeness itself is often deliberately constructed early on, specifically so it can be exploited later.

how to make your child more confident

Children of all ages need to be confident to get through the ups and downs of life so it is truly important for us as parents to teach them how to become more confident. 

I’m teaching confidence here not to become egotistical there is a big difference 

Get their hair cut nicely, always have clean hair, always wear clothes that make them feel special, always brush their teeth at least twice a day

Once these are in place the confidence will start appearing on their face with smiles and laughter. 

If your child is dealing with bullies this is a slightly harder angle to cope with but is 100% possible. 

You have to teach them that there will be bullies wherever they go and their not bullying your child because of their look or appearance their bullying your child because the bully has insecurities in life. 

If a bully sayes to your child “your fat” even if their not or are! 

Get your child to respond in a positive way to dilute the anger   Of the bully, a good answer here would be “I’m happy with my body thank you” 

The bully is looking for a defensive reply but a defensive response will always encourage a bully’s Behavior 

Be the better person, be confident and be happy

I hope this helps
