Dear Abby: Neighbor spread lies about me after I declined his offer of caring for wife with Alzheimer’s

DEAR ABBY: I have been friends with my neighbor “Mary” for 30 years. She has developed Alzheimer’s disease and needs constant supervision. Her husband refuses to place her in a facility, even though family members tell him he needs to. I have watched Mary a few times, and it was nerve-racking. She wanders off and undoes anything that we did.
