What about the cases where you are kept from doing something, that you are still able of doing? "My father's stories kept me from drinking alcohol, even though I wanted to try, like all my friends did." I don't think the sense here is that the stories made it impossible for the person to drink. Instead, they caused a certain desicion.

This answer has been edited but there are still some issues with it. It would be better to say malhelpi al iu -- but that doesn't mean quite the same thing as keeping someone from doing something. It only means that doing it would become more difficult.

At the time I'm leaving this comment, it looks like this answer has been edited again. It's standing at -1, and in the current version looks essentially the same as my own answer, so I suppose I should vote it up (to 0).
