...Like Jerry Springer is something normal  It´s not like every "Western" culture has it´s own Jerry Springer program, and other kinds of talk shows that share personal details are a global thing. From China, to the U.S., day time talkshows about personal issues are worldwide. Everybody knows the Satelite Queens right?

I think the columns should paint a picture of reality, and the reality of a relationship can include a hard relationship with in-laws. Ofcourse it´s not nice for the in-laws if they read this, and recognize themselves in it... but on the other hand. A columnist writing about her children can cause those kids some seriously stress, by simply writing about how they are so sweet, and still sleep with their teddy bears.

"[...] While sitting there, a lady came up to our table, and all of my friends started to act strangely. We were introduced, but I didn’t understand who she was until she had gone back to her own table. She was apparently the most legendary fortune-teller (falcı in Bursa. “You really should make an appointment to see her while you are here,” my friend Selen urged me. So, as we left, we made plans to meet Ayşe the next day [...]"

What i dont understand is why this woman is complaining so much about her mother-in-law and her turkish family ? She and her husband were living together 2 years before marrige. She is behaving like a pure virgin girl and expects all to spoil her.

Mmm, well, I haven´t met her mother in law, so I don´t know Perhaps she has turned pure evil... I have to say she really misbehaved during the wedding, so I understand how this can push a person over a certain edge
