I put the package in the car and was headed out for my birthday plans with the sprouts, and find a guy in brown still working so, I turn around and make my way back to see if he can help me. I give him the package and explain that it was delivered to my house today and that it is not mine, it is my address but that person is my ex and has not been there for over two years now. He says not a problem I will mark it moved away, and off we go on our merry ways.
A few days later I get a postcard in the mail, for the same address as the package saying that they have a moved notice and where the package can be picked up at. I write on it not here anymore like the rest of the mail I get that is not mine and send it back thru the system.
This morning I get a phone call from my ex, "Did you have a package delivered to the house recently?", "Yep", "Did you send it back?", "Yep", "I told them the address had changed and gave them the new address a long time ago they just never changed it!" "I do not know what to tell you, you might contact the hub, they might be holding it there." Off he goes on his adventure to find his long lost package.
I have no idea if he got it or not. It was coming from the same town that his parents live in and is only 40 miles away from either of us, so I am not that concerned about it. He could have picked one up himself at some point and time, I have been there to do just that for him before the end of our marriage.
I did not feel that it was my responsibility to deliver it to him either. Either one of us apparently is not that thrilled with having contact with the other person, why I have no idea. I still inform him how doctors appointments go, dentists appointments and such, if I take them. If he takes them, I have to call him and find out how things went. If it was someone else's package that was not my neighbor I would have done the same thing, sent it back.

Long story short, my youngest's father uses our address as his legal address. I have told him that, when he gets mail from casinos it will be shreaded, (he can't pay his bills, he need not be tempted)if it looks legal, I will attempt to call him one time, anything else get's returned to sender. If he doesn't like the rules, he can always change his address, I am not his keeper any longer.
When bill collectors call for him, I have as much fun confusing them with the living arangement as I can, only because I believe if I am wasting their time, I am keeping them from harrassing some other poor soul.
We have been divorced for close to fifteen years. It does get easier to communicate without as much emotion as time goes on. You are still in the early stages. Hang in there.
