Nothing has really changed in 3 years

I can't believe it's been 3 years since I posted anything. I don't feel quite as negative, but my wife and son take a lot of work. I had hoped she would have learned to trust me by now and he tests us both everyday. He is failing all of hi major classes in 9th grade and maybe he can hope for C's in the next two weeks at the end of school.I don't know how to relate to him. He is 15, almost 16, and when he is at home he is in a constant state of "grumpiness". I wish I had a son who respected me and my ideas.
