We imagine that once all this transitional stress goes away soon that she'll stop having this weird reaction.

On this site, BP=bipolar, BPD=borderline, which is why what you wrote in OP was so weird, initially, since bipolar people do not have this push-pull dynamic, as a general rule, and borderline people do.
I would say that:
1) having five children aged 3-15
2) a divorce
3) transitioning out of an extremist faith
can, JOINTLY AND SEPARATELY, cause a lot of trouble.
So I hope things will get better when the dust settles, and, on top of it, birth control that stops ovulation may help with a good likelihood.
I applaud you for having the courage of loving a borderline woman with five children and a fundamentalist background!!
