As a young adult, I can tell you, when a person is in love or thinks they are in love, anything your parents tell you seems like interference and controlling. Even if your intentions are to protect your son, as they no doubt are, he is going to see you as not being happy for him, trying to control him and will pull further away from you. It is only recently, after I got married and moved away, that I finally realize all the advice my mom gave me over the years was her way of loving me and trying to protect me. Back then I didn't see things that way. All you can do is continue loving your son, and let him know you will always be there for him. You have a right to tell him you don't approve of his choices but keep the door open for him. There is a great chance he will realize his mistake and come back but if you close the lines of communication between you because you don't approve of his actions, he might not have the face to come back when you are proven right.
