    In a nuteshell, parents FINALLY divorced last year after 27 years of marriage.  Father was highly emotionally and physically abusive. He left for another woman (not before nearly robbing my mother of all her money) and they both "conspired" to have me work for her company until I found out what was going on. I promptly quit and wanted nothing to do with either of them

    Months later, father is no longer in our lives.  Last week, my mom got junk mail with other woman's name on it. (so random because she doesn't live here) A few minutes ago, I just got an linkedin invitation from her.

    Annoying.

    Wow that whole situation sounds highly disfunctional and toxic. Good for you for removing yourself from them. My head would be spinning.

    sounds like a good situation to wash your hands of. It is always difficult seeing family go through this but good luck and stay strong.

    I know how the junk mail got there. When I moved, I changed my mailing address with the USPS. All of a sudden I started getting my dad's junk mail. When I changed my address, the junk mail address for my dad changed to my place. He had to sort it out with the USPS. You may/probably will continue to receive her junkmail unless she sorts it out. I don't know if it would work if you tried to fix it for her. You might need her new address.

    @MrsBroccoli:  That woman has never set foot in our house.  Aside from pretending to be my "boss" I never really talked to her.  She's never met my mother or anything... I don't even know HOW any of her mail would get to my mother's house... It was only ONE piece of mail, not like a misdirected address. 

    Either her or my father did this.  I can't see any way this was an "accident".

    @mrsbruff2b:  What happened (I'm guessing) is that she's now living with your dad and told the post office she is. She even listed the new address. And your dad posted his old address. But junk mail doesn't always get the correct or up to date info, so it sent it there. 

    My dad hadn't been to my new place, but I was listed as living at the same residence with him growing up. I moved, changed my mailing address... voila dad's junkmail at my place. He lives in FL, I live in MD. Gotta love the post office.

    Aww, I'm sorry :( My father's girlfriend is no treat, herself.  So, I can empathize.

    So last night I got another LinkedIn invitation from her on my other email.  If she was inviting in masses it would have emailed both of my accounts at the same time. =/

    I swear, if she starts sending me stuff in the mail I'm going to snap.

    ETA: They lied to me until I found out they lived together and then her SON had the nerve to tell me that they are no longer in a relationship. So I don't even know if they're together or not, but either way, even if it was an ACCIDENT, we'd be getting her junk mail more often than just ONE.  And we would've recieved some of her junk mail months ago.  It's been almost a year and suddenly, there is ONE sent to our house.
