I don't think you were wrong in wanting to protect your son.
However... while I can understand your intentions, I'm not sure I can agree with your decisions at the time.
I... have not met Choromatsu. But from what you've said, he sounds to me like a smart boy. I'm sure he knew you would be unhappy with him and that this has caused him some anxiety for quite some time. He could have kept them a complete secret from you, not tell you a single thing, but the fact that he told you so much at all tells me he likely did want your approval eventually. That he did not want to always keep it a secret.
So... I am not saying you were wrong but I do not believe you were right. Love is a very powerful thing, stronger than magic and even more unpredictable. You should know this as you know firsthand just how powerful for love for your children is. But we also do not get to choose who we fall in love with, and while not all loves are a good idea and many are misplaced, it is hard to say without meeting them if Choromatsu has given his love away to people who would abuse it.
I think what your son needed most from you in that moment was your understanding. For your continued support. Its not that you were wrong to try and protect him, it's that you were wrong to deny him this.

You were wrong not to try.
