At that point it's not about nourishment and love (and safety?), it's about independence, and learning. Gotta drop to fly.
She had strong behavioral issues after that FWIW. Which I also got to be the 'nice guy' about cause 'she just couldn't take it anymore'.
CUT THE CORD PLEASE! Every animal does it. For the good of their children.
