Thank you all for your advice. I am still up in the air about things.
I would really like to go to Turkey and see him but I want to have the experience of seeing another country and a beautiful one like Turkey.
I know coming out of a bad relationship and hopping into the next one isn't good. The way that I look at it is I need time to myself. I have been raising these kids pretty much on my own.
I do need some me time and if I don't take care of myself then I wont be able to take care of my children.
So, if I go, and it doesn't work out at least I got to experience Turkey and have a week long fling!!hehe
No that is not what I am all about.
Again, Thanks for your insights
Maybe there is no racism but there is unfairness. When someone tells you that you are too old to date my son or because you are not Turkish you can't see him anymore to me there is being judgement of character and someone having a closed mind.

Why is this racism? If I had a son that was marrying a woman much older than himself, I would also try to prevent it. Not to harm the woman, but to protect my son. Marraige is hard enough as it is. This age difference will at some point become a negative to a marraige. Its just not smart. I agree with whoever said it earlier. Focus on your kids and don't fantasize about a fantasy romance on the other side of the globe.

You can make a face, but what is wrong with protecting your children? If you think they are making a mistake, you have to tell them.

Well, as a parent, I think the best thing you can do is support your child and let him decide who he wants to marry. You can talk to your son about it, but trying to prevent it is more like controlling who he should marry. I don't see why the age is so fundamentally harmful to the marriage, why is it ok then for men to be older? Anyways, that's my opinion.
