If she's wrong let God deal with her, but do your part as the daughter by respecting her and loving her. YOU should want to have a clear conscience if anything should happen...

I have one of those mother's a true love/hate relationship. The only thing that keeps me from seriously just completely cutting her off sometimes is the knowledge that I would be held accountable for those actions. I completely agree with the advice that LoveSpell6 gave you above, I find that I have to limit my time around her and curb the conversations with her away from sensitive subjects. One thing you must remember though, YOU are grown, and the way that your mother acts isn't a reflection on you. I had the hardest time with that, I would be embarrassed because of some of her antics...until I realized that we are two different people and I can't control her thoughts or actions.
Sometimes you really must learn to love people from a distance. This is the only mother you have, so I wouldn't suggest just severing ties with her, just limit your exposure to the point of less aggravation.
PM me if you ever need to talk!
