Regardless, the fact that you rescued her and gave her the life she wanted doesn't really matter. She will never see it that way, and every time you point out the things you saved her from, the further you will drive her away, so you really need to clear your thoughts of how you rescued her, because in her mind, you didn't.
I've never told her she owed me anything, I've never held it over her head or accused her of not being grateful... I've even said that I did it because I loved her and that I was proud of the woman she became. If that wasn't enough to explain how I felt then maybe I am delusional?
