My mother has borderline personality disorder. For years, I, too would just ignore her. Somehow taking her weekly calls and just listening to her be miserable was a good way of keeping the status quo. However, no more. A recent visit made me realize how unhealthy her even being in my life at this point was for me and my family. She justifies everything and nothing is EVER her fault. She will never get better. Borderline is one of the hardest disorders to treat because people with is can rarely even address that they have an issue. I am just tired of it. It's not easy, because this person is my mother. But she doesn't treat me or my family the way a mother should. Your husband is not treating you the way a husband should, either. You need to do what you need to do to make yourself happy.
