An age would have helped me, but I'll try my best.

First off, you guys should have got some phone cards in order to call each other, so that her parents wouldn't be able to complain about the bill.

Her mother seems to be a lot like mine, and many other girls mother's. No one is going to be good enough for her daughter. She doesn't want her to fall in love and get hurt.

She's seems to be quite protective, a bit over protective maybe. I don't think you should think of it as being stuck in a dead end relationship. As much as she loves her parents, they will have to let go of her eventually. You two just need to make them realize that your not rushing into love. As you get older it's going to be easier to keep in contact, but you shouldn't hide it from her parents forever.
I think it's wrong that they made her choose. Maybe there's an underlying reason that they did that, but from what you've told me you two seem more mature about the situation than most people, regardless of age.
Maybe this is mostly in your girlfriend's hands. She needs to get to her mother and maker her realize that she really does love you and vice versa. I can't really say how she would do that, she would be able to find out easier since she knows her mother and how she thinks. Find out what exactly is bothering her mom about you two being together and find out ways to make her realize that she doesn't have to be scared about the situation. Maybe bring up something about how her daughter (your girlfriend) learned how to be strong and take care of herself from her mom, so she has nothing to worry about.

As time goes by, you two will be able to assess the situation differently. In two more years, do you think you will be just as madly in love? Is it worth this time of hiding from her parents to possibly spend the rest of your life with someone that your madly in love with? I don't think your stuck in a dead end relationship. A relationship that can make it through everything that you two have been through deserves to make it.
You should talk to your girlfriend about this. Talk about the good things, and see if she wants to go on with the relationship. You two seem like you've already thought about the future, now you have to think about it more.
Just take the relationship as far as it can go with you both still happy in it.
