A few things stick out about your story. First, she dated a guy twice her age when she was a teenager and on top of that he was controlling. That is a major issue playing in this relationship. The age thing isn't the major problem, but the controlling is. I was in a very contrrolling relationship once and it did a number of things to me including lowering self-esteem and making me withdraw from situations. You need to be patient and talk to her, which considering your situation is difficult. This brings me to the other issue. Long-distance relationships are tough. I was in one of those too and it ended badly. It is difficult being left back home not knowing what is going on with the other person. I'm sure, taken her past, that she has trust issues because of low self-esteem. Unfortunately, there is really nothing you can do but keep telling her how much you love her. She will either come to terms with this or she will not. She really needs to make an honest effort to change and she has to make the decision to change on her own. I do not envy your situation. I wish you the best of luck!
