That's a very difficult situation to be in. If you don't believe her you need to stay away from her, because either she's a liar you wouldn't want as a friend, or she's telling the truth, in which case being disbelieved is the last thing she needs. Revealing sexual abuse and not being believed when it's true is incredibly damaging.
The pending divorce isn't a good reason for the abuse to not be reported because presumably she'll still be having contact with her father after her parents separate. Of course, the abuse may be the reason her mother is leaving her father and I assume taking your friend with her.
Is she generally a truthful person? Personally I'd trust her and encourage her to talk to her mother if she hasn't already done so. If she doesn't feel able to do that, suggest she call an anonymous sexual abuse hotline and most importantly, in no way betray her trust by telling anyone else what she's told you.
She isn't sexually abused. Sorry for not saying that in the story. Also, I sort of have trust issues. I have asked her if she was lying, but I am sort of believing it now since this post.
See BITCH, this is why the website creator has his website programmed in such a way... Although my comment and this OP both can be removed, the truth cannot (permalink:)
I haven't changed my full opinion. I just sort of believe it more because I made this post right after she told me because I was kind of panicking and was confused. I thought she was lying because she said it out of the blue and I have trust issues.
What to do if friend is claiming she is getting abused by her father?

"Revealing sexual abuse and not being believed when it's true is incredibly damaging."
Incredibly damaging to who? The rapist (supposed male) or the victim (supposed female)?
I don't expect an answer.
She isn't sexually abused. Sorry for not saying that in the story. Also, I sort of have trust issues. I have asked her if she was lying, but I am sort of believing it now since this post.

How do you know she's lying? And now you've changed your mind since you sent the post?

It was very clear that sex wasn't stated in the OP so why are you backtracking and saying she's a liar?
How do you know the person in reference is a she?
The fact is you don't because it wasn't stated at the time which is precisely why I copied and submitted the entire OP above right here...
