I am not sure what most of what you are telling us has to do with your wife. Everyone seems to have some sort of issues to do with families to a greater or lesser extent and they are often less than perfect. Its how we deal with it that counts.
But I did find the above line to be a bit hard to read. Its great to see that your wife responds so very well to her meds, and am sorry that being off them for a while, to have your child, is hard. But I bet its hard for everyone? And surely its worth it? You're very lucky to have met someone that you love, and who loves you. You're very lucky to have a child together. Why not focus on that instead? Be supportive, not as the above reads, feeling a little sorry for yourself. That's what love is, supporting through difficult times. Sometimes its good to look at the bigger picture and having a family that you wanted, with a woman that you love. Those things will (hopefully) last you a lifetime. Surely its worth a few months of being uncomfortable to have what others can only dream about?
I like the idea of therapy too. For your wife, and possibly you.
