I think a parent being overprotective is more about meeting their needs/alleviating fears than about the child's true needs...you sensed her anxiety and perhaps that left you with a feeling that the love/care she was giving had a big element in it that was more about filling a space in her....and it left a space in you maybe that needs a love that is all about you!
Thanks for this!
