Is it worth the struggle...

I'm struggling. Trying to decide if I've made the right decision in homeschooling this boy of mine. I'm 75% sure we can work it out. It may take a new plan, new schedule, compromises, new attitude, new expectations, new way of doing things. I keep going to that dark place that I don't want to be, and I think that this isn't going to work. But I have so much to teach him and who better to teach these things to than my own child. It saddens me. I don't like the person I become when I lose my patience and become mean. He has his strengths and weaknesses. He is stubborn and easily distracted. He is super smart and curious. I don't want to make him hate school. Or reading. Or handwriting.
I'm just not sure that it is worth the struggle.
