I don't think I actually AM dependent on her, which is I think why I got annoyed because it seemed to me like she thought I was and was discounting all the progress I've made re. independence and creating my own support system.

Do you thing she was viewing you as needy or dependant and you've worked hard not to be that way and it's like she's discounted how hard you've worked? Almost like she's doubting your ability to not need her?
I could be wrong, but i sense from your posts that it's very important for you to be seen as not needing her or depending on her? What does being dependent mean to you, is that a shameful thing?
