The answer

You have mentioned a number of reprehensible acts committed by your father, the most serious of which is his accusation of his wife with adultery, which is a major sin. His wife and children should be patient with him, supplicate for his guidance, offer him advice with wisdom and good admonition, remind him of Allah, and seek help from those whose words he accepts, while being careful not to fall into disobedience to parents.
