["I can't believe he won't let me play baseball anymore.", "Oh that's terrible! If you don't mind me asking; Who and why?", "My stepdad won't let me play baseball anymore simply because I hurt my arm throwing."]
Maybe he is trying to do what he thinks is best. I'm sure it's out of love not just being mean.
When my stepdad told me we couldn't play baseball anymore. I had just got injured.
