Let them express anger and hurt.
Above all keep the lines open. With tact and understaning on your part your boys may be able to have a mature, if not even relationship when they are older. Both my girls as adults have learned that they can have a one sided realtionship with dad because it is the best he can do.
Good luck. I know this is hard.
