I wanna see my absent mother but my dad doesn't thing it's a great idea. What should I do?

I'm thinking about visiting my mom before my senior year starts which is in two weeks. My mom said goodbye to us and left letters for us to have her own life. No she didn't abandon us. Anyways so my mom is......well busy. I've been waiting for a phone call all day today and she never called. I called her twice but she never picked up. She told me she was going to arrive at my 13th birthday. I've waited for 9 hours. My dad distracted me by games, dancing and wanted me to have fun which I did. My dad kept telling me to not get my hopes up. My mom never showed up. I called and asked what happened. She never called back. Then two months later she said she forgot and didn't feel sorry for it. I'm thinking about living with her but my dad doesn't know about it. My best girl plans said it's a crazy idea and I'll end up hurt again as usual. This time I'm sure my mom will appricate it.

I just need my mother and my dad said seeing her isn't worth it and she is just going to hurt me again.

@TwiddlerofThumbs Of course I trust my dad but I just want to see my mom. I haven't seen her in 8 years.
@UnlovedDaughter01 Of course. Shes your mom! But it sounds like shes... a lot broken and not wanting to be that. Trying to get her to be who you want is likely to cause you more pain than you are aware of yet. you need to let her make the next move. live your life and let her come to you. She knows, with your contact, that you are interested. Moms like this.... there is always a good reason they are not with you, and it is always about them. not you.
