Divorced dad takes fatherhood very seriously
“I’m divorced. My ex-wife and I share our daughter evenly. And I thank God for my profession. As an ICU nurse working the night shift, I’m able to set up my schedule so I can spend the most time possible with her. During the days that I don’t have her, I can still do things like have lunch with her at school or talk with her on the phone. Every day, whether in person or not, I try to have some time with her.
“My daughter and I are very close, which is really important to me. Because a divorce is hard on everybody. That’s another aspect of what this Spiderman thing is. If I do what I’m doing to make other kids happy and inspired, I try to go even beyond that for my own. I just want to carry my daughter along on the journey. I make videos so I can document what she and I have had growing up.
“I take the role of fatherhood very seriously. A lot of people say that. But I think we can be pretty easily written out of the story — our importance, our influence. I don’t want my daughter to ever feel like that, regardless of what I’ve been through in my marital life. I don’t ever want her to feel like Dad’s not her hero.”
