aries2756-thank-you once again for your sage advice. I hear you and agree with you.

Last night, my son was out all night, coming home only this afternoon. Needless to say, I was beside myself. I can’t help but worry, each and every time. Especially bc the kids he went out with were different, and he took off his kipa. When he came home, he joked and laughed about how the police came, and interrogated his friend, looking for drugs. I was mortified. He was laughing, like it was a game, without any sensitivity to the seriousness of what happened. What should I have said, nothing? At what point should I break the silence? The truth is, I did say something. I just said, “That was fun to you?”. To which he kept laughing, and then went to bed.
