Unfortunately, I don't have any wisdom to share, but I empathize with you because I'm having the same issue with my daughter. I fully believe I was always "there" for my kids, but my daughter says I wasn't. So she has refused to communicate with me for 2 1/2 years. Her memory and mine are as if we lived in different homes.
I don't know what to do with the remorse, except to sincerely apologize to your son, even if you don't believe he's correct. I'm writing a letter to my daughter to apologize for whatever it is she believes I did that was so insulting to her.
