Awwww, deli, it won't be like this forever.
Can you look at it as "I'm trying this for right now". Would that make it any more bearable?
I remember when I decided to pull my oldest son out of school to homeschool him, it was a totally torturous experience. I really didn't know the right thing to do...there were really valid reasons that I didn't want him to be in the school, but there were things I was scared of about homeschooling. Sometimes I was excited and sometimes I was sure I was making a huge mistake. When I told myself "this is something I'm going to try for right now", it made everything much more bearable. And now he's in 7th grade and we're still homeschooling, so it did turn out to be the right decision, even though it was SO hard at the time.
This is what you are doing right now. It doesn't have to be forever. There is almost always a way to change things, truly.
Be gentle with you. This is hard stuff.
