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. Researchers call this attachment weaponisation. The unsettling part is that it isn't always obvious while it's happening. It can feel completely organic, right up until you realise how much invisible obligation got built into it along the way. What is attachment weaponisation?

It’s Friday. I’m Tired. Don’t Ask Me for Anything

It’s Friday. I’m Tired. Don’t Ask Me for Anything.

🧨 It’s Friday. I’m Tired. Don’t Ask Me for Anything.

My brain is mush. My soul is on airplane mode. And if one more person emails me with “just circling back,” I might circle back with a scream.

This week has been a rollercoaster — and I didn’t even get snacks.

😵‍💫 What I’ve Survived This Week

  • Three emotional breakdowns (two were stylish).
  • One existential crisis in the cereal aisle.
  • Five “I’m fine” texts that were absolute lies.
  • Zero naps. Tragic.

💥 My Friday Mood

To-do list: Cancel everything. Wear stretchy pants. Eat something that makes me feel alive (or at least mildly amused).

Vibe: Unbothered. Unavailable. Unapologetic.

Goal: Feel f*cking amazing — even if I’m horizontal on the sofa.

🧘‍♀️ Weekend Manifesto

I will not answer emails. I will not fix anyone’s drama. I will not pretend to be productive.

I will rest. I will laugh. I will eat something ridiculous. I will remember that I’m allowed to be a masterpiece and a mess at the same time.

So if you need me… don’t. It’s Friday. I’m tired. And I’m reclaiming my joy.
