Lee, do you think her going off the pill is just about the side effects, or do you think there's a more subtle message there about how much she wants the baby?

There are other options for BC besides the pill and condoms. There are several new things for women that can be used and cause fewer side effects than the pill. Maybe she could talk to her OB/GYN about it.

Anyway, you are doing great with your 180 and you are seeing baby steps. I know how hard it is to piece, and I am hoping the best for you.
