We're all just phoning it in after Mal says all the right things... It's probably telling that you are even asking about what you need to do to shore up her weakness - you're in a Parent-Child relationship, not a romantic one. The best thing you can do for her and yourself is treat her as an equal, and give her the responsibility to solve the problems she has just like you have done. She will either mature and handle things as an adult and get strong - or she will run off to find another "Parent". Either way, you come out ahead with your energy focused on your new career, not on all of her problems.
You may want to look at your past relationships, and if they have all been with such dependant people think about why that is. It took me a while to get out of that repeating cycle myself...
