There is a difference between not caring and not loving. I find it hard to believe a parent could ever fail to love their child. Though I could see were a parent might not be very happy or proud of what a child has done or become. Mom sending you off to your Aunt might be a form of tough love. Tough love is something as a parent I do not approve of.
In any case you mother is legally responsible for you and to you until you are 18. If your mother is not meeting those responsibilities, meaning your Aunt is not seeing to you heath and welfare. Seeing to it that you are properly clothed, fed, housed, provided for an education to the 12th grade and proper medical treatment when needed. Then mom would be guilty of child abuse.
If any of those needs are not being met by your Aunt then you should inform a trusted teacher or school principal. If you are not in school and should be go to the nearest police or fire station. They are safe havens for young people and they will inform the proper authorities.
If mom is meeting the legal requirements of the law, even though they may be being provided through your Aunt. There is not much you can do until your 18th birthday when you legally become an adult and can go out on your own.
You can try to talk with your mom and try to patch things up with her. If it is not possible to talk with her; write her a letter or Email and then see if the two of you can talk by phone. You haven't said what you did to cause mom to excite you to Atlanta. Personally I find it hard to believe that any child could do anything that would cause a parent to stop loving them. Start your letter with; "Mom I'm sorry I want to come home;" and then go from there.
I hope this helps.

Even though it is a bit early to have a career in a way, you should try earning some money if you need it. Damn, no offense but your mother sounds like a real jerk. You should just forget about her. You're almost 18 which means you can do whatever you want, you have the freedom to not be bossed around anymore, take advantage of that before it goes away.
