"And..I need to get used to doing it on my own and what better time than now.."

Why would you even say something like that? It's passive aggressive. AT that point you should have told her about your boundaries.

"Response: ok. Whatever that means."

That's the response I would have expected her to give based on what you said.

"I left it there. I wanted to imply that eventually D3 would be living here with me on our own."

You were trying to manipulate her thoughts again. The only thing you haven't done is actually argue against her.
