The worst part is that these aren't even those sort of notes. They're more that he got really upset and started crying notes. I can't imagine how my husband thinks yelling at someone for crying will be useful. :(
There is a huge difference in the ways we view the world sometimes.
Do you have a good relationship with your son now? If so, perhaps you could talk to him about how hard it was to know the right thing to do and apologize. I did that with my brother and learned that I was carrying a lot of guilt for nothing. He thanked me for apologizing, but said it was what brothers and sisters did and he hadn't been injured by it.
