Is Edgar Welcomed?

How do you feel about the way each family member is responding to Edgar staying with them? Are they doing a good job or not? From Brain, to Sunny, To Lana?

good topic manlove. I think Clay actually truly feels for Edgar and he comforts him and understands that Edgar was genuine in his confession and that he cares for him, Brain i think underneath cares as does Sunny who he has the hots for..I think Lana cares maybe the second most.

I think Clay truly cares for Edgar. He shows this when he kisses him goodnight. Brain is just a bum-hole.

Brain obviously doesn't accept him because he feels his position in the family is threatened and because I think he's just an ass. Lana and Clay definately care for Edgar. Sometimes they appear distant, but they never don't care for him. I think Sunny sees Edgar as a third-party who hasn't lived with the family long enough to know all of Sunny's secrets and whatnot, so she befriends him.

I think the family really likes him, wheather or not to have him in the family, I don't know. I really think Clay and Lana want this to try and mend their relationship. Sunny probably views him as the brother she wants instead of Brain, and Brain probably views him as the big brother he has always wanted.

i feel that no body in the family really cares about Edgar that much and that he is just there to fill in the space of dean

I think everyone cares about him but some more than others. I think Lana and Clay are hoping that this can help their relationship get better. I think Sunny is happy to have Edgar as a brother. But i think Brain is jealous of the attention Edgar is getting.

I think that Lana obviously treats him well because she brings in all of these things to take care of because she needs the distraction. Clay treats him well too, but it very distracted by the trouble going on between him and Lana. Brain is jealous and wants to get rid of Edgar, so he is not very welcoming. Sunny on the other hand, is a lot like Lana. Sunny was unhappy that a boy from school turned her down, so she was desperate for anyone kind of touch, so she turned to Edgar. She does not seem to care otherwise, about Edgar at all.

i think clay and lana treat him very well and act like he is their own son. i also think that they want Edgar to have character traits just like little dean and for him to replace him. i think brain might be jealous of edgar because he is getting so much attention.

ive never heard the term bumhole before..interesting. i think they all care about him atleast a little but Clay definitly cares about him the most. the whole family seems lost because of what happened to Dean, and everything is a little messed up so its hard for them to be "normal".

I think that clay and lana both care about Edgar the most because they want him to feel at home and everything, and i think that deep down brain and sunny both care
