We cannot control our children's choices either. All we can do is prepare them and support them. I wouldn't worry so much that your children might resent you. As long as you keep your relationship with him strong and raise him to know that you've got his back no matter what, even through resentment, he will also learn the truth and find a way to work through that resentment.
I was concerned about my kids resenting me, too. They've said some things over the years that have cut me to the core -- but they've also been very clear that they are grateful that I protected them from their father to the extent I did.
Where they will come out at the end of all of this, I don't know -- but as HMA says, children are people and we can't control the conclusions they draw from what happens to them. What we can do is give them a healthy home.
