Hugs to you, bronxmom.
I too homeschool a PG8yo and there have been days when I wonder what I'm doing. I have no advice except to say that it sounds either like a 2E situation (that's what we have here ) or a power struggle situation where he wants to claim control. We've had that too. The second situation is easier - I just back off, a few weeks at a time. The 2E bit is a lifelong adjustment. With your son at 8yo, you're probably still trying to make sense of him. I draw comfort from the posts in this forum that it literally takes *years* for us to uncover our children and to find out their underlying strengths and weaknesses.
Homeschooling or public schooling, we only want the option that works best for our kids. No decision is final. If you change your mind, it's because you're introspecting to find the best fit. I hope you find helpful answers in the upcoming evaluation.
