Don't control her: The best way to show her you are not like the controlling past boyfriends is to avoid trying to make her initiate things. You can't change how she feels only encourage her to talk about it . Ask if she has problems now with all those past experiences. She might feel free then to tell you things that can help you to have a relationship, allowing you both to initiate things. Don't keep score!

Loss of self esteem: She seems she lost he r self esteem and would benefit from therapy by a therapist, since it may be not easy for u to be able to deal with her condition.
