Most of our beginning relationship Morri was just watching. Krys knew about Peter's health problems but hadn't gotten involved yet. Peter was a cigarette smoker which at first was fine but would eventually cost alot of money. In Peter's room there were so many bottles of pills and I didn't know what they were all for. He walked with a cane because of foot drop so his balance was off and sometimes he fell. He had Diabetes type 1 that they had not found til 18 so it was advanced. He was bipolar since that was how our two love birds met. Seizures were often in the start of the relationship but they didn't scare Krys away. His heart had some problems but he had nitro for those times. That brings use to his pain and the pills he took for them. There was no control over how much and how strong of medication. Morri warned Krys against such a sickly specimen of a man but it fell on deaf ears. Morri now had two sick humans to care for...not to mention Krys trying to heal the mother.
Fighting was often in the first six months because neither one of us wanted to change. Both of us were thought to be monsters but we needed to change to work together as a couple instead of against each other. I helped Peter build strength and health...he helped me finish my massage classes and become a Massage Therapist. Ema starts to improve and make advancement in caring for herself. Peter takes me to the beach on Christmas day, walks me to the waters edge, and gets down on one knee to purpose. I cry and say "Yes!" we are engaged.
Everyone at program is so happy for us but we can't be in the same groups anymore. Being Bipolar makes life so much more difficult than if a person is healthy. Depression, mania, and anxiety are all part of the roller-coaster life. At program we learn coping skills, to rebuild our lives since bipolar tears it apart. Peter has more anxiety then the other two but all of them are a problem. I experience all 3 equally but with medication it is under control. Program helped my self-esteem and my personal relationships. I worked on Peter and I dating with my case worker so my co-dependency didn't kill our love. Thankfully I learned how to be myself with Peter instead of just being Peter's girlfriend. As his fiance I wanted a life for us that was our own...mostly I wanted to be in the same room with him.
We talk with his mother and she wants us married before we share a room. So we plan to get married at the courthouse. Everything is set-up and I am in a dress to go get married. When Ema in a state of drunkenness tells me I will never marry her son. She broke my heart when she says we would not have a place to live if we went to get married. This throws me into a rage induced mania and almost sends me to the hospital. Instead I sleep in the same bed as my fiance that night under Ema's roof. We also stop paying rent because I had cared for Ema in a way that would have cost thousands if it was done by a nurse. All of Peter's sisters were enraged to think we were not following rules and paying rent to care for the mother. We had 90 days to move or be evicted. I was more than happy to leave when we found the right place. Morri gave me the strength to handle 4 women complaining. Ema stayed quiet and just started taking care of walking with the walker and using
the restroom alone.
The apartment we moved into was with another couple so we didn't have complete privacy but it was better. We packed our 3 cats(His Sam, Mine Johnathan, and ours Samantha), our belongings, and our New Uber car to Laguna Hills. Peter had become an Uber driver to pay our bills and the car bill. His driving skills plus his polite nature went over well with Uber. He was a natural at customer service and our lives become all about us as a couple. We are paying our monthly bills while Peter has responsibility over his doctor visits and medications. No longer does Peter have to much pain medication, although still sometimes takes more than he should. As he works more he uses less pain meds. I'm also proud that Peter takes his Diabetes more seriously and has stopped smoking all together.
Morri has protected Peter when he has his seizures since he is the soulmate of Krys. The Seizures have been petite mals and not very often. Peter's health has improved in Krys' care...he eats better. Krys wants to see him at his best health and will work hard to get him there. Krys is in poor health too because she is overweight...it sometimes gets out of her control. If Peter ever asked her to she would work on loosing the weight but he seems happy with her as is. Morri likes that Peter and Krys get to be together in Privacy. Whenever they show there love to each other it gives off life force and strengthens Morri. Many times Morri pushes Krys to show Peter affection if she feels weak. His body heat alone sooths Krys and revitalizes Morri. The other couple is young and they don't seem well suited. Krys wonders if the girl is cheating on the guy because she sometimes dresses up and goes out. Krys cannot imagine doing that in a relationship.
