She could be missing her son and finding it hard to cope not knowing how he's doing. Just be supportive. If she has other issues just have some patience and let her know you are there for her. If she needs some space let her have it.

Before I answer anything, you really need to give more details..like..how long have you been together? And what do you mean by "distant"? What has changed from previously?

It depends on the reason for her distance. You haven't given much information on your relationship with her, and whether you have had any problems.
How well do you know her? Take the time to talk to her gently and without any anger about what the problem is.
You are fairly young, and its not unusual to date and find out that the person is not the one for you long-term. If you were previously very close however, and seemed in love and told each other this, then there must be an underlying reason.
Talk ... its the best way, and make sure to keep any anger and strong emotions out of it :)

Is she close to her family? Maybe their leave has made her feel a bit homesick for them and that translates into her withdrawing a little from you? Perhaps you could try to reach out and let her know how you feel?
