Sorry to have offended you...this was just a perception of what was broadcast on the show. I am obviously not the only person who percieved you'll as "cozy". Maybe YOU are affectionate in general, but Randy is the person in question here. He seems to be a very confused and untruthful person. You may want to be careful that your affection is not being misinterpreted by him. The affection shown by him towards you was NOT normal. This guy has some emotional turmoil going on inside of him, he's trying to find himself.
Men showing affection is quite ok...my brother and father too-- hug and tell one another they love each other. My husband hugs and kisses his father and brother just the same...but what was shown on the Dr. Phil show, was not the norm. Best wishes to you and your family.
Remember, blood is thicker than water...Melissa needs you. You should be there for her and your nephew. Part of her problem is that she feels alone with raising her son. Your friendship with Randy may be sending her mixed emotions as well. As a mother of and "autistic" realm child, I too need my family most. Our strongest support is those who love us unconditionally. Please recognize this...and put your efforts toward showing your sister you are there for HER.
Bravo on a great post - I agree, it is possible for straight men to be affectionate, but this looked different than that to me. I'm not accusing either one of being gay nor would I have a single thing against them if either or both of them were. Before I even saw Randy and Edwin sitting on the couch like that, I thought it possible that there might be a sexuality issue where Randy is concerned.
I am actually more concerned, though, that Edwin and Randy can be so tight when Randy has been so awful to Melissa with his lying, manipulating and STEALING from her! I don't get it.
