Yes I know family is important.. Otherwise I'd have gone somewhere else but I didn't..
y the way my parents don't have any prejudices or bad feelings about people who aren't Muslim or Turkish.. They like foreign people.. They know that I don't believe in religions... Neither my boy friend beieves.. They are not strict about religion.. They event do not fulfill any of their acts of worship.
But they are traditional... There is a turkish family structure thing.. There are irrelevant, unnecessary, stupic limitations, rules, and the idea that, since the parent creates the child, since the mother gives birth, then the child is their possession.. They know the best.. They love their child so passionately that they cannot see this child has her/his own decisions, likes or dislikes, dreams etc. They try to hold their child's hand before he/she fells down, they try to prevent him/her from touching the fire but they cannot see that they cannot extinguist this curiosity in touching fire.. If I burn, then I understand that it burns, it harms me and I don't touch it anymore.. But the forbidden things are always sweet for us.. but they do not see this.. This is not because they are bad parents.. But this is because they are a bit too much caring, to much self-sacrificing.. Here in my country people born, they go to school.. Some have an education of 8 years.. (they won't have good jobs generally). Some have an education of 11 years.. Then some continues with university for 4 years.. (Generally in some parts women aren't let to have a good education, they are made to marry and they are used as a stallion, they are not let to work etc) Then job life.. Then marriage.. Then kids.. Kids means self-sacrificing.. It means the end of the non-lived life... This is a vicious circle for the majority of the people in my country.. My parents are like this to... They are well educated.. They want me and my sister to be well educated.. They want us to have a good job.. That's okey.. But they still have a traditional part of mind... Etc.. etc...
