I am receiving text messages that are intended for other Iphones

I completed the new iOS6.0 update yesterday on all 3 Iphones in my house. After the update was complete we all started receiving eachothers text messages from eachothers friends. When ever I send my husband or son a text I also receive a text from myself that is a copy of the text I am sending my husband or son. I also received a text from my husband that came through like it was from my son. Can you please advise how to fix this problem?

iPhone 4, iOS 6

I recently lost my phone in New York so I have been using my friends old iphone. Last night I was added in a group message which was clearly not intended for me because they were speaking Spanish. I looked up the numbers in the message and all of them were New York numbers. I am guessing that the message was intended for the person who now has my phone but it somehow got sent to me. I had find my iphone but it never could locate my phone and essentially didn't help me locate it. Is there anyway I can use this information to get my phone back or at the very least how do I stop getting these messages without turning off my group chat (since I use it almost everyday)?
