Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention during their scenes, but why does Sonny think Michael owes him an apology?
The order of events as I recall is: Sonny and Jason went after Julian. Sonny disappeared, and was presumed dead. He showed up in Pennsylvania with amnesia and eventually went to stay with Phyllis. While everyone in Port Charles needlessly, yet painfully mourned Sonny, he was alive and well in Nixon Falls and Nina of all people learned this. Instead of reaching out to her grandson's father to let Michael know Sonny was alive, she spitefully kept the news to herself and then struck up a friendship with Sonny while hiding from him that she knew who he was and where he came from.
Nina got so enthralled with her delusional friendship turned physical attraction to Sonny, she not only convinced herself she was in love with him, she showed virtually not interest in returning to her prior life, including her precious grandson who she was eventually allowed to continue visits with.
When Sonny eventually remembered the truth on his own and came home to Port Charles, he deliberately and repeatedly lied to his wife and children about his life all those months and the nature of his relationship with Nina. He had ample opportunity and reason to be honest and chose not be and made one pathetic excuse after another to justify his secrets and lies all the while continuing to engage in what essentially was an emotional affair with Nina behind everyone's back.
He even went so far as to defend her on the record in court, leaving his wife and family hurt and humiliated. And when forced to live with the consequences of that action, he cheated on Carly with Nina because Carly didn't absolve him on his timetable.
Now he and Carly are divorced, he is estranged from his son Michael because Michael understandably abhors the way his mother was treated and sees his father's behavior, particularly regarding Nina, as a betrayal of all the values Sonny taught him growing up.
So again I ask, why does Sonny think Michael owes him an apology for deciding he didn't want to continue a toxic relationship with a father he no longer recognizes and realizes he can't trust?
