Thank god you haven't married yet because you haven't yet seen the full power of the turkish family to control their grown children with threats to disown them if they don't tow the line by marrying a woman born into their faith. You will always be a heathen in their eyes. And there is one essential difference between islam and catholicism you haven't yet discovered, thankfully. Marriage in the Catholic religion is a sacrament. In islam it is nothing more than a financial arrangement which can be dissolved without a second thought. You are expendable, an object. And your life can be in danger if they don't have the money for a divorce lawyer. Better to know this now than later.

I know how deep your love is for your turkish man...i know too well. I still wish his family hadn't destroyed us.....Read my story....then just walk away before you lose yourself as well as him....
