Neglected by my mother

She used to care about me. But now she's refusing to send me to tuition, always shutting me out in conversations, not even responding to my texts, and just being so distant and distracted whenever I try to even strike up a simple convo with her. I'm in JC1 this year and I'm baffled at this. For context, math has been one of my weakest subjects in JC despite me already revising on my own; we are financially well off so affording math tuition is not at all a problem. I have been begging her for it since Feb-March and every time she just gives like some airheaded "yea I'll get a tutor for you later" but no news arrives. Then I research some on my own, ask her again 2 weeks later, cycle repeats. Shouldn't you be grateful that your child actually wants to buck up on their studies and learn? What is so hard about giving them 2 hours of math tuition every week? instead all she said was "your math is good, dont need tuition. you need chinese tuition instead." Then she sends me to useless chinese tuition which I don't need?? hello??? It won't even be in my RP... Btw she used to be tiger and strict as hell too, she used to drill me a lot in primary school, and I also wasn't let off easy in sec sch, I wasn't allowed to go out of the house, I HAD to have tuition, etc. Now i'm in JC and all of that vanishes? Today I asked her why she has been ignoring me and she told me to just "stop being emo". No apology, nothing. On one hand, yes I enjoy more freedom now (though i still can't leave the house on my own, still cant take public transport, still can't have my own bank account, and still need to come home immediately after sch with no staying back late), but on the other hand, she has completely given up on checking in on me and my studies? She also kept all my edusave award money for herself. The 800 dollars earned by ME from MY EFFORTS. I asked her to give me just a bit and she outright refused. I feel that my family has been loving me less ever since I started JC. I feel so lost. I wish she loved me as much as she used to.
