Have you tried having a compassionate heart-to-heart conversation about boundaries with her? It sounds like she cares about you very much but her efforts to keep you safe are only pushing you away. Maybe some work needs to be done to establish boundaries so you can maintain a healthy and loving relationship. It might be hard for her to swallow at first, but maybe you can guide her to see that it's for the best for both of you if she wants to stay close.
