family-related issues

*I apologize if this sounds confusing, but the situation behind this is very difficult to get into detail about without getting into Fratching territory…..mostly just need to get this off my chest, but if anyone’s been in a similar situation, any suggestions would be much appreciated*

The other day, the post office sent us some kind of “Change of Address” form, only it was addressed to “Patty”, my sister. This in itself would not be a big deal, except that my mom is not sure what to do with this piece of mail – neither Patty nor Rick (her husband) are on good/speaking terms with the rest of the family, and when they’d called my mom back in June, they had asked not to be contacted.

And the other thing I find odd is why the post office sent this to my mom’s house in the first place – Patty has not used that as her mailing address for several years, and if there was some kind of mix-up, I wouldn't know who to contact about it. (well, other than a customer service number for the post office, and even then, nobody could give them much info)

Simply mark it return to sender/not at this address and drop it back into your mail box.

As to why you got it, I'm going to guess that the post office hasn't gotten any sort of notification in a few years maybe from your sister (especially if she's moved more than once and didn't send in change of address forms), so they're trying to establish her current address of record by sending cards out to previous addresses.

Blank form or confirmation? If its the latter, it just means she's gotten around to filing an official change for some reason, so just throw it out. When you move, they send confirmations to each address, that way if you didn't make the change, you can contact them.

Just happened to see this thread again while browsing.....don't really have an update, but I did hear awhile back that Patty and her husband had bought a condo in California (they traveled there a lot for their business), and that they were planning to move there permanently sometime in October. (Not trying to go by rumours, but Patty and Rick have blocked/deleted people on Facebook, so I just pick up bits and pieces from the few whom they have NOT done this with)
