Hi there.
I can understand that you are worried.
Attachment indeed plays a big role in the development of a child and poor attachement can lead to the personality features you are describing. First symptoms of Oppositional Defiant disorder and now antisocial personality traits.
There could also possibly be a family history of a mental illness that you are unaware of.
