If Gretchen came to me, especially if she was a close friend, I would want to do everything in my power to help her. It is in my nature to turn into a counselor usually for someone having a hard time. I would do everything I could to get her out of the situation she is in. Though that can be scary because it is very easy to get yourself so invested that it is messing with your own life. I would make sure to tell her how much she is loved and how the religious figure her dad perceives is far from the truth. It is really hard to decide what she should choose to do, I would talk to someone else like an adult or my mom to get an opinion on that. It is a sensitive situation because her father could explode and hurt her even more finding out she is getting help. Also because she is gonna need psychiatric help after she does get away from her father because of all the messed up things he put her through. I would do all I could to help Gretchen because if I did not it would haunt me forever.
