Mother in law that Pulls in Family Members and Friends with Lies and Destructive Gossip

My mother in law is 86 and seems to be in the beginning of Alzheimer's. Her younger sister is in a nursing home last 3 yr for same. Her reality is slipping and she calls and pulls in family that is not around normally to spread vicious lies about her son and me.

She says what ever she thinks will hurt us and make the person she is in conversation with be on her side. Like we are putting poison in the coffee container, and extreme versions of family events to make us look bad. How do you get past the depression that follows the finding out and anger of her being caught?
