Shes still in overdrive and distractedly attempting to multitask while on proper meds. Unless they go heavy, in which case she just sleeps and gets vacant.

She dosnt want to be on meds. Who does. She has been taking them as ordered, to the best of our knowledge. I think just the stress of dealing with her abusive family may have pushed her to that edge. Plus a therapist who she convinced to lighten up on her prescribed meds, perhaps a bit too much. I know she would love to be able to live without them, but you would think a professional would know better than to accept that just cause things are(seem to be) going (reasonably) well right now, you can try to do without them.

I hope your brother can come to terms with what is going on in his head. If he finds a stable state, hopefully he can find someone to share that with, to reenforce the positive and who can understand and release the less pleasant moments. And now you know it wasn't the fiance. I instinctualy want to blame her too, but I have a hard time with it, because I don't think I could deal with what I have seen of this. I am the proverbial duck, waterproof in most of life's turmoil, but I am very sensitive to the few people I choose to really trust. The abuse and paranoia would be too likely to drag me down. And even knowing its not what their soul would say, but a twisting of their brain, I don't think that would allow me the detachment to be so close to it.
