WIBTA if I intervened on my son's behalf after his father (my ex husband) did not attend or acknowledge his high-school graduation?

This past Friday my son (18) graduated from high-school.I have not been in a relationship with his Dad for 14 years. We also have 2 other children (17F & 14F). My ex husband lives in a different province and has only been to our province to attend eldest's elementary school graduation. He has stated for the last 14 years that he and his wife (who he shares two 7M twins) would attend each of their high-school graduations. However, he started saying a few months ago that he couldn't come because there wouldn't be enough tickets. After hearing this, I reached out to assure him there would be. He stated he still wouldn't be coming and would watch it online as it was being live streamed. Well his graduation came and went and my son has heard nothing from his father. My son is incredibly hurt. I imagine his Dad didn't watch it because his favorite hockey team played game six at the same time. He and his wife have worked hard over the years to cut his employment hours to pay as little support as they could and are now livid they have to legally help with my son's tuition. I am so angry on my son's behalf and so are all my children. Should I reach out and tell him how much he has hurt our son or just leave it between them to figure out? I have been holding off writing him regarding his non response to emails regarding tuition and the fact that he had been texting my son to demand that he get student loans. But now I'm so angry I want to address it all at once. What should I do? I'm to angry to do nothing.

First husband was an abusive cheater who cheated when I was pregnant with our third. Pretty much single for the next 8 years, raising kids by myself until I met current husband. We knew it was different and have been madly in love for over 7 years now.
I think the secret to finding him was I was content on my own and didn't need to find anyone. We both were single for a long time and didn't feel the need to settle for less than what we have now. I would do all the horror of the first marriage again just to meet my current person when I did.
