If she is behaving like that, it is likely that there is something going on in her life that is distressing her (either currently or from the past). It is, in a way, "attention seeking" or a "cry for help" but she may not be doing that consciously.
Whatever the case, it doesn't sound like something that you are just going to be able to "fix" by a bit of a talk or the like. It is likely to be a long ride...
