Can I discover where or who sent me an offensive email?

Received a nasty email from my brother, what should I do next?

• I am taking the time to respond to you in greater detail than xxx because what I have to say to you needs to be said. Additionally, your message to xxx indicated that you were also attempting to contact me at an email address I have committed to the SPAM black hole that it deserves. The email address I am now using to send this is also a SPAM address where any responses from you will go as well. For starters, as a 42 year-old woman, you should already know that email harassment as yours, regardless of genetic familial links, is still harassment. Both xxx and I have advised you, verbally, and in writing, that we DO NOT wish to have any contact from you or your sadistic parents. Be advised that said warning is being issued AGAIN, by me, that I do NOT want to be contacted by you through ANY means, whether in person or by proxy or by written communications. My wife and I want NOTHING to do with you, PERIOD! Now, since you still fail to comprehend the reasons for this, I will take the time to give you a brief explanation. I am doing this out of the same kindness I would show Armadillo Roadkill. I also hope that you just get a life! Sitting at home eating doughnuts and stalking xxx and me is not good use of your time. Years ago you painted for me a “poor me” scenario in which xxx had allegedly mistreated you. Regretfully, I stood-up for you by wrongfully assuming that you were being truthful and that perhaps xxx had somehow become misguided. Conveniently, you left out many of the facts in your spat with xxx. I have always know you to be a manipulative; materialistic; self-centered; lying little *****. In other words, a mirror image of our Mother. My hope was that you had grown out of it in your later years as a grown-up mother and wife. Boy was I wrong! Over the years I have observed you summarily **** on people once they are of no use to you or when they discover who xxxxx really is. The last time you and I spoke, I made it very clear that I wanted nothing to do with your Mother or Father because of all the vile **** they put me through and the hell they created for me as well as xxx. You defended both of them to the point of telling me “..the xxx's come as a package, you either accept all of us or not at all”. Remember that? I remember it as if it was yesterday. How dare you! How dare you diminish or deny the **** your psychotic Mother and Pedophile Father put me through! I pray that if there is a God, that both of them fry in the hell they deserve. You have no clue as to the torture and **** those societal misfits put me through. Of course, you would not know or care to know, you were always the family SUCK-UP that could do no wrong. I hope that the inheritance you’re waiting on comes through for you, at least you’ll have a trailer you can move into when xxx wises up and dumps you like a bad habit. In retrospect, xxx was wise in finding another woman because marriage to you and your psycho parents could not have been an easy thing for him. I wish xxx well and hope he is happy. Most of all, I wish your kids well and hope that once they get to see who you really are, that they haul-*** out the door and never look back. Your kids do not deserve a life like the one I was given by our parents. Frankly, neither you nor your Mother, and especially your Father EVER gave a damn about me. All you ever did is TAKE, always TAKE. I’ve never forgotten how if it had not been for my wife and I, xxx and xxx would not have had much of a Christmas. I NEVER expected anything in return, but I also did not expect you to throw me under the bus as you did a few years ago with your “xxx package” diatribe. Take some advice, have xxx find you a competent psychiatrist and get the help your Mother and Father should have received years ago. All of you are sick and in severe denial. The price that I paid to spend years of my life in the xxx Asylum was far too great. I know I speak for xxx when I say that the sadism gene is alive and well in you and neither of us want to help you cause any more harm than you already have. If you feel the need to stalk someone, save it for your kids and stalk them like xx and I were. Your piece of **** Father used to stalk me as I walked to school in New Jersey, all while yelling obscenities at me, an eight year old boy. His piece of **** Brother xxx held me at knife-point in a stairwell at the projects because he did not like me, an innocent little boy. He claimed that I was just trash from a previous marriage. Yes xxx, you come from a lineage of some sick bastards and package deal or not, you can have them all. I do NOT forgive, nor can I forget. To do so would dishonor the memory of my grandparents who for years tried to protect me from your parents. In closing, I will say this, I frequently check the xxx obituaries in the hope that someday I will see the names xxxxxxx This is what my brother sent me... A total defamation of character...
