I think most would say you did the right thing. You owned your mistake. You did well.

The only thing that could have been better maybe was to validate without necessarily saying it was true...

So instead of 'I'm sorry I changed after son was born' becomes....


'I'm sorry you FELT like I changed after son was born'.

Don't worry his anger will subside. You did well to not fight his perception of what happened. You removed the obstacle which is you....

Now just allow time to take care of his anger.

Take care of yourself.
