My husband has severe attachment issues stemming from his childhood abuse. I wouldn't say he's cured; I don't know that will ever be completely possible. But he is doing much better. His ability to hold onto that feeling of connection with people has become more stable than it once was. He has a way to go, but things have improved. He is finding more peace within himself than he was once able to do.

As for myself, attachment was never a problem for me, but I certainly had enough other very serious mental health issues to juggle. I've been hospitalized many, many times for suicidality and attempts. I've been through medications and ECT treatments. And lots and lots of therapy. I reached a point in the last year where I am finally very stable, quite content with life, and quite capable of handling the stressors that come my way (and there are plenty of them with a seriously ill husband). I've come out on the other side, but it took many years and incredible focus and determination to get there. The years of therapy were absolutely worth it for me. No regrets. Just wish it could have happened faster, but these things take time.
