Hi and welcome. My single greatest regret in life was the impact my mental health has had on my children, particularly my youngest. But there has been a silver lining - with my eldest, this has taught her empathy and kindness, with my youngest she has learnt resilience and strength.

What happened has happened and there’s nothing you can do about that. But you could apologise, which you have, and he has forgiven you. It takes a lot of courage to forgive and accept that you’re forgiven. Now you can look ahead, using the qualities this has taught you both, and reforge your relationship
