 I'm so sorry you've had such a challenging time, but I do not believe that this man is good for you.
Join hobbies local to you, where you can meet others your age: bingo, seniors dancing, senior holidays, etc. Find someone single to love. Maybe all you need is a genuine companion, but it's clear this friend will only hurt you. Do not apologise, but do not have any more contact with him either.

I really can't understand your post at all. Can I try and summarise it a bit to see if it makes more sense?
It sounds like you have had several husbands but I'm not sure how many or which order they come in.
One who is the father of your son (and other children).
Another that murdered your daughter and attempted to murder you too (or is he the same husband as the father of your son?)
Another husband who brought up your children as his own and has since died.
The man you are currently seeing is a businessman and many years ago (39 years) you were dating him but you chose to marry your husband instead. (The husband that died)
This businessman came back into your life after your husband's death (26 years ago?) He supported you though hard times but you didn't have a relationship with him right then as you were not over your late husband. It is not clear from your post when you started to want to be with him romantically.
This businessman is very wealthy; he inherited a lot of money from his parents and now owns several properties and an aircraft. He does not appear to be an alcoholic like your previous husband(s).
Your son does not like this businessman and thinks he's leading you on.
Since coming back into your life this businessman has shown himself to be quite possessive and has sometimes asked why you didn't pick him over your husband in the first place. He wants to know what he did "wrong".
He has also recently told you that he now sees you as "just a friend" and he has actually been having a relationship with another woman. When you challenged him about this he said he was "just playing with you". He said that he wanted to remain a supportive friend, however.
The last time you spoke you argued although I can't tell what this argument was actually about. You mention that he had a bad day with his tenants and was taking out on you. You also mention that he lent you money which you gave to your son.
You hung up on him. You waited 8 days before calling him to apologise but he did not pick up the phone.
You are asking whether you have a realistic chance of living a happy life with this man.
If my interpretation is correct, I would say NO!
1) This businessman is controlling (and you have a history of picking that kind of guy).
2) He already has a girlfriend that he is in a sexual relationship with (and kind of rubbed it in your face a bit when he told you this).
3) He states that he sees you as a friend and that he was "playing with you" when he insinuated otherwise.
4) He takes it out on you when he has a bad day.
5) Your own son doesn't like him.
I can see nothing but further heartbreak in this but I'm still not sure if I understood the gist of your post so please tell me if I'm wrong.

 Well, what an eventful time you have had. Of course it may be possible that you and he still could find love. It is your life not your son's. He is only being protective of you. You should listen but you make your own mind up.
It may take time to get to know each other again - we all change. I hope things work out well.
