Super Hero Syndrome - The day life taught me that I am NOT superman
Nov 09, 2021
I've wanted to be the hero since I can remember. My first concussion came from jumping off of a boulder onto my dad without him knowing because I had seen the hero do it on TV.
Unfortunately that incident was not enough to teach me the danger of the love affair with swooping to the rescue. When I became a father, in my mind it was hero or failure. I set out to be my daughter's hero ...and full transparency, it was more like her invincible, bulletproof, unstoppable SUPER hero.
It was WAY too much pressure because it turns out I am, in fact, mortal. I truth that punched my right in the face when I had to sit down and tell her that the security I had assured her would last forever was actually a security too heavy for me to carry and that it was all about to come crashing down ..and she was going to get hurt. I couldn't protect her this time. Even worse, I was the one that was about to hurt her.
