I think a large part of adjusting is the mental adjustment, for most practical issues you'll face you'll be able to find a - not perfect but workable - solution.Have you looked into mental support to deal with the fears, the anger, and with facing the possible long term consequenses? This can help a lot.And have another big fat hug from me, and maybe a good cry with your partner too.</blockquote>
