So let me get this right, sally. You, the mom, stole your adult son's passport so he wouldn't go on a trip that you think is unsafe? If that is indeed what you've done, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't speak to you for awhile. I am a "momma bear" too. But when my child has reached adulthood, it is my opinion that I have guided them throughout their childhood, and hopefully, I have guided them into a responsible state of mind. I find what you did sneaky and dishonest. Next time, he won't communicate with you what his plans are.
