What does it mean when a person you thought you cared for says I'm not your keeper?

Is it time to leave the connection if the person who you thought you'd care about and for turns around to you and says firmly I'm not your keeper? But doesn't elaborate as to why.

“I’m not your keeper” as I understand it means they’re not a parental figure, that you’re an independent person and free to do as you wish.

@OlderSometimesWiser Yes. Same here. You're grown up to make your own decisions and actions.
