Mom is living off our mortgage money, what to do?

My mom signed an agreement with us that if my grandma paid cash for our house out of her inheritance money *she is not set to inherit until my grandma dies* we're to pay her the money each month. We had been paying the mortgage with the taxes included and recently got a letter from the tax office saying that we were delinquent on our 2016 property taxes (which was included and paid up front to her). She lied and said she "paid them" but we got a letter recently stating about $100 is still due. She claimed that "the reason she was not able to afford to go on the cruise with us was because we did not pay her her paycheck". I said "I knew it, you HAVE been living off out mortgage money that you were supposed to put in savings and she lied and said she could tell us anything".
