I'm 41 yrs old, and managing myself and my diabetes has really been an extra challenge these last couple of years. I have schizoaffective bipolar type.

Up to now, I've come across pretty normal and able to take care of myself and pretty sane. I own a car and have traveled extensively playing music. And recently I've fallen in love with a girl. I gave her a promise ring not long ago, promising I love her and I'll always be there for her.

Right now I live with my parents yet. I can't manage my money, nor my diabetes, and the group home is starting to look good to me, because I want to be taken care of, and I don't know if my girlfriend can work full time and also take care of me. We're in love, and I hate to leave the marriage idea for a group home. If we get married right now, we'd be scratching for pennies all the time. My care would be limited. If I went to a group home, I'd be taken care of, and we could still be friends, but it would break our hearts.

I'm not sure what to do. Any ideas or options I don't know about?
