History / Libro sobre el totalitarismo
English term or phrase: He never held her back in her flight
When she started writing the letter to her husband Bohuslav,
their twenty-three years spent together came to her mind. She
met him as a student of the Faculty of Law. At that time, he was
already an engineer of agriculture who later earned a doctorate in
technical sciences. He worked for the Czechoslovak Radio station
where he had his own agricultural programme. They shared
a deep emotional relationship in which Bohuslav showed great
understanding for the work and public activities of his wife. He
always put her interests first. In her letter, Milada acknowledges
that he never held her back in her flight. She fulflled her desire
to help and be benefcial to the needy as a lawyer employed at
the Central Social Ofce of the Capital City of Prague.


P.S. ¿Nunca le cortó las alas? ¿"Nunca la detuvo en su vuelo", quizás es muy literal?

he never held her back in her flight
nunca fue un obstáculo en su vuelo


Explanation:
Conservaría la metáfora del vuelo, pero "cortar las alas" me parece que va más allá del sentido del original, que es más bien retener u obstaculizar.

En esta referencia encontramos el mismo sentido:
