you have a 31 years old son who judges you and harbors resentment for the mistakes you have done in the past as a parent? Yet he has done mistakes in his life and has been forgiven. What strong yet compassionate words can you say and what action can you take if any?

Start with, "If you want to be an authority on my mistakes, we must first review yours, where would you like to start?"

You can apologize for any mistakes you made, if you think they were mistakes. It will be his decision to forgive you or to hold resentments against you. You can't force him to forgive you, and if he doesn't he will be the one to suffer the most. Don't argue with him about it anymore once you have done your part which is apologize. When ever he brings it up, turn around and exit. Don't give him any attention when he brings up what you have apologized for. It is pointless to keep arguing about it.

well....all you can do is remind him you are human and made mistakes, the decisions you made were right at the time and made with love and all we can hope for in the end is that we have made one more right decision than wrong........
the end.......no action, no hysterics.....

He needs to accept and forgive you! He is being very selfish and needs to realize he has only 1 mom..............the mom that will not be around forever! Good luck to you!
