If Gretchen wanted to talk to me about her situation, I would without a doubt be there to listen and offer support. I would not pretend to have all the answers because I have never been in her situation and honestly there is no right way to go about this situation. I would probably recommend going to the cops for help and trying to get out of that house. I would be there for moral support and I would not force her to do anything she isn't ready to do. I would stand by her side and remind her that in this life changing, yet awful situation, I am there for her no matter what happens. I wouldn't lash out on her for her behavior because in big life situations like that you could cause someone a lot of pain by acting like the person who caused the initial pain, in this case Gretchen's father. Sometimes when people are in the middle of big life events they act in ways they can't even explain and you just have to be understanding, because like I said, lashing out on someone who is going through a lot of emotion pain can cause that person to do bad things to themselves. I would also stick with her through the whole situation because she would have come to me trusting that I would help her and stick by her side the whole way. She would be absolutely devastated if she had trusted me with something that big and then I just tell the cops or something and then not worry about the situation anymore because it's not my problem now, the cops can deal with it.
