Another thing I wonder about, is how this stuff ties to other things in the world.
The advice on this forum is effective for maximizing the odds of a spouse returning, because the codependent becomes un-dependent, scares the narcissist, and they have to deal with their own stuff? Also why GAL works, it helps the codependent rebuild themselves? And most people that are on this site are codependent in these relationships?
OFP's... why are they always a year? The first video I watched talked about codependence taking a year to get over. Probably takes that long for a narcissist to get over their connection to the codependent also?
