Hi Michelle - I'm in a rush and can't post everything I want to say right now.
YES - you'll get that connection back. But don't be alarmed if it comes and goes. Now is a good time to make a plan for managing how BP affects her life. What happenes to her when you have an episode? When your fiance does? When you both do?
My son is 3 and if I have anything lasting longer than a day, he gets to go on vacation to grandma's house. I am VERY concerned about how my BP in his childhood can affect his life as an adult!
