Get legal advice, and also collect as much evidence as you can to support what you are saying. You can even insist that your sisters provide phone records if they want to pretend that they keep in contact.
You must also protect yourself from allegations that you have caused a distance between your mum and them. Your Mum will need to make a full supporting statement.
I'm so sorry to hear of this problem. Its just selfish of her other daughters to treat their Mum this way, and they obviously don't care about how she feels. At least she has you, you must be a great comfort for her.

Do you live in Spain? Or somewhere else? Is your mother Spanish? As long as the will is legal, that is, it was properly drawn up and witnessed, it's pretty difficult to challenge. But then, Spanish law may be different. Your best bet is to contact a lawyer who does know about the law in Spain, and ask him whether it is worth while defending a suit against the estate.
If your mother is still living, you might be able to get her to affirm her will. If she has already died, then you will have to go through the legal route.
Sorry for the problems you are having. It's odd how often children who ignore their parents feel slighted and hurt when a sibling who has been the caregiver gets a larger share, or all, of the estate.
