I believe GF and her mother may have been expressing their dissapointment with your son's response to being dumped.
He didn't run out and purchase an engagement ring then beg for GF to marry him, did he?
Seems they've assigned blame TO YOU.
Just my theory.

OMG Lighter, you just hit the nail. I knew that and I suspect that my son knows that but does not tell me becasue he does not want to give me validation.
I told him, the exact words, when he said "I am not ready to get married" she just waited two months and she said "I am not ready for thsi realtionship" That was a total revanche.
And they think that I was the one, it was not me, it was his grand father and his father who screamed at him. Not me. I just totally told him if he was ready to work full time for children and forget about him self and he was not. And I stayed with him all the time he was crying and took him out and caled his friends to take him out, and took him night clubbing and called onw of his friends to take him night clubing again, and he spent two weekends in my apartment on the beach and we went night calubing there and I saw him dancing with different girls, and that boosted his self confidence. That was my sin.
I never told him do nto go back to her. I even told him that she was going to call him back adn did not opposed. The only thing I did was trying to distract him so he was not so devastated.
GF was the first one to erase him from her face book. then he proceded to erase her, so, she started it. I just gave him support and provided distraction so he can recover faster.
Last night he tolde me he met a 27 yo girl in the same lab where is is doing his thesis (he will be published) he is double major in science and music, she plays the piano like him and dances like him and is in science like him.
I told him, do not start again pleas, do not dive imemediately, do not get an immerssion, do not start idealizing a person to set your self for disappointment.
He said, "I am not ready for a relationship, I just want to enjoy life and see people come and go"
I still know, after they have sex, my son will be hypnotized like a zombie, but and older woman, he is 22. But this time, I will leave him alone, I will do nothing, except pick of his pieces and help him when the time comes. And is she si a good woman and likes me and she is friendly to me and respectful to him, then I will be very happy. If not, I will do nothing. I have too much with my mistakes to suffer for my son's mistakes, I have to help him without suffering. I men. I will try. LOL, I know I cant, but I will try.
Thank you Light.
