Being over protective is a learned skill. Meaning you are probably a product of an over protective or abusive family. I can't say as you have not given any real information.
If your overprotectiveness stems from an abusive upbringing and is a defense mechanis. Then I would suggest counseling with a qualified therapist to work out the issues you are protecting.
Without more information I am only guessing though. If I can be of more help you can if you wish to keep this a private communication contact me in private using the private communication of this forum. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
