Dear Flacon420,
You must have been a fantastic catch, so to speak, as asking "a PPD" to marry someone is kind of difficult, as they will then be obliged to trust. It is very difficult for a PPD to trust, or to trust someone enough to marry. She must have loved you so much to marry you. From what I can understand, the shouting and abuse from a PPD is not directed at a person, but rather, it is directed at the situation. You might feel as if it is directed at you as she shouts at you. But she is angry with the situation, not you. You see, they are a bit lost. From what I can gather, PPD have a problem with "situational awareness". It is very different from psychotic hallucination. A PPD is unable to pick up cues that we take for granted. Is this person trust worthy? Is he laughing at me? Is that person walking away from me cause he does not like me? I would compare them to bats. As bats cannot see, they shriek and listen for an echo. The accusations and the verbal abuse are desperate attempts to find her directions. So I don't think there is much you need to do, just do not take the shouting personally, and love her as she must love you so much. Put your love in action, be gentle and patient. However, all this can be tiring for her and she may need a little help from the doctor now and then when she becomes exhausted.
