Sorry you’re going through this.
The short answer is that I’m not sure it’s your problem to fix
Yes there’s clearly something wrong with her and she’s now taking advantage of her mother but at the end of the day they’re both fully grown adults. Does her mom have an issue with the arrangement?

That sounds like a stressful situation man, sorry you're having to go through that. I'm not sure what I can recommend, but you're right not to have her back at your home.

I'll say what I was told by someone that greatly shaped me as we were watching a relative go down the slope..... DEPRESSION is a real MF and no matter the intentions of those around them, unless the depressed person wants help it won't get fixed. He added "depression" kills more people than all other illls, it may not be the final cause but it's usually the ROOT cause.

I feel sympathy for anyone who has to deal with this kind of situation. Just be there for your wife, don't offer advice unless she asks.
Someone posted earlier that you and your wife need to find peace in the fact that you tried to help and now you go on with your life.

I had to go to therapy to learn how to deal with a fricked up family with zero boundaries. It was in therapy that I realized my mom has undiagnosed borderline personality disorder. Learning that has changed the way I interact with her. Your wife should read up on it. It basically explained my entire childhood.

Adult Protective Services. Woman needs a welfare check.
At best you are dealing with early dementia.
At worst you are dealing with a horrible addict who has given up and will take advantage of everyone including her mother.
The grandmother is definitely at risk of abuse. Welfare check for both.
