When you "confront" her about the withdrawing, are you doing it after it has occurred or during?
It might help to call her on it when it's happening, but not accuse her of withdrawing or put her in a defensive mood, but say something like "I could use your support right now." "I need you to be here for me now."
I think when you try to "discuss" the issue with her, you might just be scaring her away even more in your approach. Sometimes people need to be directly called on their actions, other times, people need to work on the issue at hand before they can work on the underlying one. It depends on the person and the situation and I think you should pay more attention to what her feelings are when you present yours to her. Your way of expressing your feelings may not be what she's comfortable with. Try different approaches.
