Meg, I wonder if perhaps your mother is suffering from some sort of depression? If she has lost all interest in everything, it could be that something is really bothering her that she might not even realize herself. I know you are very disappointed that she hasn't been there for you. I'm so sorry. Even the "best" mom makes their kids mad at times. Let her know that you miss having her be more of a part of your life.
I agree. It sounds like classic symptoms of depression to me.
Not every medication works for every person. And sometimes it is something as simple as a different dosage being required. Many times several trial and error attempts are needed before depression can be controlled.
Perhaps you could talk to your father about your mother's behavior, and possible depression. Maybe he can encourage her to visit the doctor for a change in medication.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
