I'm sorry, star.
What I'm *hearing*, which is not necessarily what you're saying, is that there is more here than anger that he forgot. Even though forgetting does hurt despite knowing that therapists are just human, I think I'm hearing that it's awakened a lot of memories about not being taken seriously and fears about having been believed and understood. And maybe other things as well.
If I'm right, which I'm very much likely to not be, it seems perfectly valid to discuss this with your therapist. It isn't a criticism of him, or a refusal to let go of hurts between you.
