Mital, My thoughts are with you.
My first impression by what you wrote is something bad may have happened while you were away. This may or may not be something she can tell you. It could be she suffered from panic or felt abandoned - that is typical of teens who have had alcoholic / absentee parents.
Or it could have been something outside of her. Perhaps an inappropriate advance from a neighbor or someone she respected.
Is there someone else she trusts who might be able to facilitate? Maybe a counselor or teacher? Also, reinforcing that you are there for her and not ever going to leave is important. It's important for her to understand the difference between you leaving town for a short while and leaving her life forever.
As she is still a teenager, realize she might be punishing you for leaving by behaving in this way. I am not saying she is doing that, but there is a chance she is.
Hang in there |
