>attachment theory was developed to explain why children of drug addicts are so messed up

Citation? As far as I know, the roots of Attachment Theory are in the World War II work of John Bowlby, investigating the effects of children separated from their parents when major cities were evacuated during the Blitz.

It is much later that the association of insecure attachment and addiction was scrutinized.
