Wow, so many boundaries are needed. I doubt your mother will want to hear this, but it'd help if you focused the discussion on her, specifically her behavior. Your relationship is broken because [your mother's actions], not because of anything your wife does or does not do.

But basically, approach it like you train a dog. Good behavior from your mother gets the "treat" of your attention and time, if that's what you're willing to spend. Bad behavior gets her nothing. No attention, no contact, no time spent with you. If she starts up with the bad behavior in a conversation, warn her that unless she stops putting you down (for example), you're going to have to say goodbye. If she doesn't stop, say goodbye and then hang up or leave. Do it every single time. Let some time pass, a few weeks, a few months, then start up like nothing happened. First sign of bad behavior? Goodbye, Mom, talk to you later.

Boil everything down to the essentials. You're not going to argue about personal stuff, or your wife and her "taking you away from your family". You're not going to stick around for verbal abuse or accusations. Good behavior = conversation, bad behavior = bye bye now. Lather, rinse and repeat.
