Completely devastated

[Jessica Loesch]

Evan - you probably don't know who I am and may ignore me for not agreeing with what you want to hear, but I'm going to be blunt.

Girls like this are off their rocker. I see lots of red flags. She claims abuse, she has only seen you once, and you barely talk to each other for lack of communication device but sometimes talk constantly in short spans. Okay, I hate to say this, but it sounds more like she just wants attention when she wants it and then does her own thing during the rest of the time she isnt in contact with you. Not saying this is true, but from an outsider perspective, I see loads of BS coming from HER.

I have no doubt YOU love her, but it sounds more of an obsession. And that's okay, as I have been in this position too, but you need to realize it before you make a mistake. I honestly think she is taking advantage of you and your emotions.

My advice would be to, perhaps, stay in contact but lay off, like you said, until she is 18. If you guys can actually get together for a while, get to know each other in person, and figure out each other's lives together, then maybe it could work. But not until that happens. Internet relationships are hard. You love the person so much but then you meet them, you love them but they aren't what you expected half the time, and sometimes it just doesn't feel the same. I met my ex this way. It made for a bad situation.

Anyway, do what you please, but I personally would not be sticking around if I were you. I would move on.
