This scenario proves how dangerous liars are. This man's life was ruined because of spite. The daughter was upset because her stepdad wouldn't let her go to a party on a school night, so she lies to her mother about this man molesting her. The mother wasn't trying to hear it because she was in her feelings over what her daughter told her. I'm not upset with the mother because as a parent, you're supposed to believe your child(ren) when they tell you something serious like this. I credit the daughter for admitting her mistake because her conscience must've been eating her alive. You can't have peace in your life doing people dirty. The husband in this scenario is right to leave because of the spiteful stepdaughter. He won't feel comfortable in that home; so why stay where there's tension? The daughter messed up what was probably a good relationship between the mother and stepdad. For me, there's no doubt what I would do in this situation: LEAVE. I wouldn't care if she reached out to me explaining she was wrong for believing her daughter's lie, we would be done. I would forgive both of them, but I wouldn't stay because the love is gone. I don't see how anyone could get through this without lots of counseling and forgiveness, and NOT become bitter. This would be tough to get through, but it could probably be done.
