Never think of that; write every day, and all manner of things that concern you,—– just as particularly as if you were speaking to me.""Oh, many things, said her mother, you will see. But now, Ellen, if there is anything you wish to talk to me about, any question you want to ask, anything you would like particularly to have, or to have done for you, I want you to tell it me as soon as possible, now while we can attend to it, for by and by perhaps we shall be hurried."

How is the father’s helplessness brought out in the poem?

This passage describes a young woman's experience of finding out she was pregnant at 16 and the pressure she faced from her parents and her boyfriend's parents to have an abortion. The author expresses a mix of emotions, including fear, happiness, and hope. Despite feeling some sense of happiness and hope, she also feels a lack of control and agency in the decision-making process. The pressure from her parents and the lack of support or consideration for her own wishes contribute to her sense of powerlessness in the situation. The author's mother's insistence on more drugs and her father's assertion that the decision was not up to her further highlight the lack of autonomy she experienced in this difficult situation.
