English term or phrase: we did make her feel like she couldn’t tell us
Testo teatrale americano (per la messa in scena e non per la pubblicazione). Dialogo tra donne a proposito di un segreto mai svelato di una loro amica defunta.

A: She must have had a reason for not telling us. Maybe we did make her feel like she couldn’t tell us, and if so, I regret that. I’m very sad about that.

La mia proposta:

A: doveva avere un motivo per non dircelo. Magari l’abbiamo indotta a non potercerlo dire.

Cerco soluzioni migliori. Grazie!
