The fall that changed everything
Abbi Taylor was just three when her dad fell while working at height. The accident left him in a wheelchair – and changed their family’s life forever.
Growing up, Abbi didn’t know her dad before the fall. The wheelchair was normal. But the emotional weight he carried wasn’t. They didn’t talk about trauma or mental health. She just knew to stay quiet, to not add to his burden.
As she got older, the silence became harder. Their relationship strained. At 15, she moved out. Years later, her dad began to open up, he started healing, and so did she.
Abbi shares her story to remind us that safety isn’t just about rules – it’s about people, families, and futures.
