I got a weird message from a stranger this weekend in regards to my dad's gf. It included lots of facts in regards to my dad and me and our life...including specifics, such as things on my registry and how I tried to get his gf a job at my work. It included very hurtful things to me, such as how the gf hates me and wants my dad is disown me so that it is just her and him. I hope he does get this letter and will do the right thing. Not sure what I am expecting from this post but needed to get this out. The letter also included how me and now divorcing husband had tried to have children and she was happy that we can't/were not pregnant.
Re: Message from Stranger
Did this message arrive via snail mail or email or how?
This also eerily sounds like some kind of a form of stalking.
I would have this message investigated, if I were you.
BUT - if you stand back a minute and have a think about:
1. what is the purpose of this letter? What would the writer hope would be the result of this letter?
2. who would stand to gain from that?
The reaction they seem to be going for is for you to freak out to your dad about the girlfriend and then they would break up - or this would add fuel to an already started fire in their relationship.
Chronically hilarious - you'll split your stitches!

And then report to Facebook.
I'd then address it with your dad - not in an angry way (obviously his girlfriend didn't send it) but in a hey ... I got this weird message and think you should see it. I found it pretty upsetting - I'll send it over to you for a read and then maybe we can have a chat about it? kind of way.

I have to agree that it could possibly be from your soon to be ex. Or is there someone that is a friend of your dad or his gf that has ill will or jealousy against them? Also you and your dad may want to talk to his gf about this. Maybe someone has been giving her problems and she didn't want to upset your dad so hasn't said anything yet. Then discuss as a family how you want to address it.
This may seem childish but if you have an idea of who might have done it (like maybe your soon to be ex), plant a little rumor/story with the right source that might aggreivate this letter writer. If you tell the right (or wrong) person the details and you get another letter, you may have figured out your source.
