I can't handle my 8 year old anymore. I don't know what to do anymore. A week ago his school called me and told me that he had thrown tables across the room so they had to clear out the classroom, he had taken his shoes and socks of and thrown those across the room, had crawled under his desk and refused to come out, and then yelled at everyone, including his counsellor at school. He's going to get kicked out of elementary school if he keeps this up.
And then today I noticed my husband's coin collection missing. Those are very valuable coins, uncirculated, that he had bought as an investment. It turned out that my 8 year old had taken them, taken them all out of their little cases, broke all the little cases, lost some of the cases, and lost some of the coins.
He is constantly lying and stealing, and I don't know what to do with him anymore. He's already in therapy. No punishment works, no reward system works. I'm seriously at the end of my rope. We have looked into military schools, but there are none that take 8 year olds. I seriously don't know what else to do with him anymore. It scares me to think about his future if he continues down this road. I love my son, but I can't handle him anymore. All he does is argue and fight, lie and steal.

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
