I appreciate your support. No, we never saw this coming. She has been taking meds for depression since before I met her, but I never noticed anything, she was quiet occasionally and tell me she was down and didn't feel like talking. But She never heard voices before 2 weeks ago, not that anyone noticed anyway. Now I can't usually hold a conversation with her, she is usually too busy listening to the voices in her head. Those voices tell her that her daughter is poisoning her, and that I'm cheating on her etc. Last night She refused our visit, so her daughter and I were talking a lot, I was pretty broken up. It came out that my girlfriend used to tell her daughter to not argue with her (she's strong willed) because it might make me leave. I never knew this, and certainly never said or considered leaving them. We're a family! But it might explain why she blames so much on her daughter. I'm kicking myself that I didn't see something sooner.
