Just a thought, but maybe she was not in town over the weekend. So, maybe to call you, she would have had to call long distance. But email is free. I could be totally wrong, but it occured to me as a logical explanation.
It does seem that it might be useful to you if you could clarify her weekend calling policy. I had a similar misunderstanding with my old T once, and it totally bogged down our therapy for a while. Eventually we just got extremely explicit about expectations around calling and emailing etc., which helped (although I still hate that he doesn't seem able to formulate a complete reponse to my emails).
Your fight with your mom is a big deal (obviously) and that seems like the kind of thing a therapist should be willing to help you deal with. So I really hope you iron things out with your T at least, if not your mom. And like KK said, if no one else is there for you, there will always be babblers willing to help.
