I dunno, "non-interfering" parent probably means something different to you than it does to me.
Quite frankly, you sound a bit selfish, protective and scared.
Did you not equip your son with what it takes to go make his own life? Figure he'll move to Hawaii and you'll never see him?
Admittedly, the job market here is pretty tough and costs can be high, but these things can be managed and people who aren't afraid to do things differently than their mainstream peers and set different priorities can find happiness in Puna.
I would expect parents to be supportive of any endeavors their children pursue, I would support my children, offer them encouragement and remind them about every message served in some inspirational movie that they can do absolutely ANYTHING they set their hearts on. I believe in my kids and my parents believe in me.
