I was a foster child that did this exact same thing. If I got close to someone I ran........ If I felt overwhelmbed I ran....... If I thought someone was disappointed in me ........ I ran......... . Running was something I could control. It was also a way to see who truly cared about me. Who thought I was worth the effort? Who would not give up on me? In the long run I learned I was not worth the effort and I ran everyone away.
I think the most important thing is to tell her you love her and care for her and will be there when you gets back. Get into family counseling as a group or atleast you and her. Try to build her self esteem up and make sure she knows She IS worthy. This may take a long long time but it is so worth it in the end.
big hugs I know this is not fun.
