We all make mistakes, it's our ability to learn from them that makes a difference to our lives and those of others. That's a good example for your son. Humility is fine, but you need to value the good in yourself too - which you may see as God's spirit within you. I hope you see why your path is familiar. You have been tested before and have come through it, so it is now. You are no longer 7. At times a strong front is needed, but now you are also strong enough to let the hurt show through, here and with your wife and your God. That will help you too.
