That list also struck me as a good reminder that it's not just the absence of bad behavior. That's certainly important. But everybody deserves caring, attentive friends and partners who will treat them well. It's not just that somebody doesn't do something bad and wrong. When we can work on these things early on and make it a norm, it helps us go out into the world with a more secure attachment style.
