ESTA materials say that if your application is unsuccessful you should apply for a US visa. That is where you will have the opportunity to say “when and why and explain.”
I suspect your chances are fairly good, but if you are not successful you will lose the $160 application fee.
The best approach is now to apply for a regular visa. AFAIK there you can explain a bit more about your circumstances in the visa interview.
