I just wish she was out of our lives. This isn't the first time she has hurt him. She's supposed to be his mother and so against me, but I have never hurt him and she does all the time. I support his happiness instead of what she wants him to be. I feel like he's a grown man and he can choose any career, beliefs or lack thereof he's happiest with. I don't like his mother because she doesn't care if he's happy and she only wants to control him, manipulate him and hurt him emotionally.
I think you should just give it time. By the sound of it, his mom is toxic but like you said he has to make these kinds of choices for himself. If you start speaking with him against her, it might make you look like the bad guy because he obviously still loves her and cares what she thinks. All you can do is be there to support him like you have been doing.

Maybe don't talk to her anymore? I doubt she'll change her mind about him. Maybe when she's cooled down about it she'll be able to talk.
