K, I just read your comments and my heart literally hurts for you. From your post I sense a great deal is weighing on you. I'm really sorry you are suffering from that. I am hopeful, since you wrote that, you was able to find someone you can trust to give you the help you need. I'm also sorry that you had this experience with Dr. Edgington (lol, I have a hard time calling him that because for me, he's "Shawn"). I wished that you could have seen the caring, loving, genuine person that I know him to be. I will tell you, he literally saved my life and saved everything that is important to me. He is probably the single greatest person that I've ever had the privilege to meet. I understand, sometimes personalities just don't "match". I wished you and him could have developed the relationship that I have with him. I think you would have found him to be the same person I described above. I will tell you, I've never felt more "safe" around anyone in my life. Trust isn't something that I give very freely. He was honest with me. I needed that. He didn't try to downplay or sugarcoat things with me. He just shared his knowledge and caring personality each week that I met with him. If I died tomorrow and had young children, this is the man I would hope my children would be placed with. I feel that strongly about him and his character. Again, I'm sorry you didn't have the same experience that I have/had. I felt compelled to write as I would encourage ANYONE that feels like they just need someone to talk to, to understand them, to seek him out. If you are someone that is just looking for someone to tell you that everything you say/do is okay and all of your problems are because of the rest of the world, he likely won't be a good match. If you want someone you can trust and to be honest with you. I think he's a very good candidate. Oh, I should also mention that I previously had experiences with 2 other professionals in the same field. IT WAS A DISASTER WITH EACH OF THEM! I don't recall how I found Shawn but I thank God almost daily that I did. Best of luck to you. read more
