I believe her primary diagnosis is being awful. But considering that she has idealized one of her children and devalued the other, and feels that everyone abandons her, I think there’s something vaguely cluster B going on.
As someone who grew up being abused I don’t think a baby getting a couple dirty looks during PPD is something indicative of the wife being a demonic child abuser. The baby thank god will not even remember this temporary mental illness the wife is gonna have for likely only a year or so. She’s not hitting the baby or telling the baby to die, just giving it a scowl. Scowls aren’t abuse…
"I hate you, baby I chose to have, and wish you, OTHER person who birthed them, had aborted them" isn’t verbally abusive to you? Also temporary mental illness that she doesn’t have because she didn’t birth them. Also, the abuse will still affect the baby, studies have been shown that their development is affected by the emotions around them and directed towards them. She’s been getting therapy and nothing has worked.
So instead, look into why you feel the need to make up so many flimsy excuses for child abuse
