As my fiancee's condition has begun to "improve"
(no insomnia, no severe depressive symptoms) she has become
increasingly irrational and paranoid.
First you should try to ensure she gets the help she needs. If she is suffering from paranoia and become irrational it could be the medications I'm sure she was perscribed. I'm not being mean I applaud you for helping out with the baby, but given you are somewhat going behind her back and plotting custody could be a reason behind her paranoia. I mean if she is suffering from post parum you can't say she is 100% incompentent as many woman go through this, but it is very possiable the medications used to treat that could cause the paranoia and other symptoms. Maybe she needs a med change. If worse comes to worse and she can't care for the child then you should file for custody, but if she is suffering from all these mental illnesses adding to her problems may further worsen them. Like I said I applaud u for helping out, but if you love her then try to seek further help for her if it fails then proceed.
