Your family doesn’t need to ask anything about anyone you are talking to online and they absolutely don’t need to Skype with strangers. Why do they have to do any of it?

Obedient children like you are absolute rarity. If I and my daughters father told our daughter not to travel or not to date someone, she’d just roll her eyes. I don’t understand it. You don’t need to be rude to your mother but who cares what she thinks of danger of travel? “They don’t want you to travel abroad alone.” Oh well too bad. Who cares if they don’t want you to. You aren’t a minor. Why are you asking them? Buy a ticket and fly.

I think this unhealthy dynamic goes both ways. Your mother controls you. But you expect unrealistic things from your family too: they must ask questions talk on Skype and be all involved with a total stranger. This girl is a stranger whom you never met. Why involve family?

Are you seeing a therapist? All of this is quite unusual and you might benefit from talking to someone about it
