Hiya

Thanks for sending such an informative mail. Its amazing how things changed the minute you got to Turkey.

It will certainly make me be very inquisitive next time i visit him and his family in the summer. I dont think in my heart that he will be the same. He and his family are not very religious. They hate war and Sadam and Bin Laden and the hurt they have caused. They are proud of their country, but seem to embrace other cultures too. The women in the family are very strong minded with very good careers and would laugh if they were told what to do. His uncle is Married to a girl form London, and another uncle is living in Sweden with his wife.

But even though i know all this and feel very comfortable when around him and his family, i will take your story seriously and take things slow and be careful. I will speak to his aunty from London and see how her life is since moving over.

i own my own house here, so i could always come back if something wrong.

I,m sorry things didn;t work out for you and your BF, its his loss !! Your right to keep your identity and not let him change you or your beliefs. Will look out for the book !!! Good luck with your future.

K.
