Wow man. This sounds like a very intense situation.
Honestly though, I've always seen family as a privilege, not a right. If she feels like these other people are more important than you guys.. that's her choice, as wrong and misguided as that choice may be. Hope she turns her shit around, but honestly there's not a whole lot you can do. Just let her work through whatever it is she's going through.
Apparently those people are giving her something she was searching for.
I once heard a story of a wife who cheated on her husband with a man who thought he was jesus. Turns out the wife convinced the husband to let this 'friend' of hers sleep on their couch for months on end prior to him finding out the two had been fucking the whole time. I believe when the two got divorced she gathered some of her things and went to go live on a commune with the guy and a bunch of his 'followers.' How sad.
Moral of the story: people do radical things in the name of their beliefs. Let her work through this.

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
