Today, I got a missed call from my dad, who hasn't talked to me in months and has vowed not to have anything to do with me. I called him back excitedly and apologized for missing his call, and we had a 20-second conversation about how his phone accidentally dialed my number. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my father called me for the first time in two weeks since I moved away. Excited, I answered the phone. It was a mistake. He thought he'd called my sister. FML
Today, I called my dad, because I haven't spoken to him in a while, and I wanted to invite him to my graduation in May. When he picked up, I said, "Hey, how have you been, dad?" He scoffed, "Wrong number" and hung up the phone. FML
Today, my estranged dad drunk-dialed me at 4 a.m. to apologize, and to make amends. After crying and forgiving, we hung up. Minutes later, he called back to retract everything he said after remembering how I was rude to him at a party 3 years ago. FML
Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, my dad got a new phone and put me on speed dial. I have received several voice mails from him accidentally dialed. They are from him riding the train, in a meeting, having lunch, and, most recently, him taking a monstrous dump. FML
Today, on the train, I got excited when I suddenly noticed I had a missed call and voicemail from a boy I liked. With a grin on my face, I told my friend. My dad overheard and said, "Oh sweetie, he probably had the wrong number." The voicemail was blank. I texted him. The call was indeed an accident. FML
Today, I was involved in an intense argument with my dad. Just as I yelled, "You haven't done one thing for me", my phone rang. The same phone that, as of today, my dad no longer pays the bill for. FML
Today, my oldest son answered my phone call much to my surprise as we haven't spoken in a year. The first words out of his mouth were, "I didn't mean to pick up the phone." He then hung up. FML
Today, my estranged father, with whom I haven't spoken in years, called me and demanded to know where his Father's Day gift was. FML
Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML

Please. He probably called you and hung up on purpose to make you feel like crap.

for everyone who thinks you should try and "get him back," forget it. he's an ass. you're better off without him. i understand it sucks ass to grow up without a dad, but you have a choice - move on and be happy, or hang on to his assholyness. sometimes, its the parents fault, not yours. forget everyone saying, "oh you're gay, so it must be your fault he doesnt want to talk to you." thats your fathers problem. and he's an ass. (and everyone asking about this persons story, why would he/she tell it to us? we dont know him/her. it isnt our buisness. this is just a website to post 300 character stories, not blog posts.) i'm sorry. feel better

At least your dad still has your number in his phone. Which seems to me that there is still a part of him that cares about you.

Depends what you did to piss him off, like if you are that girl from Quebec than I hope you die old and alone

This might be the saddest thing I've ever read.

so just do what every other girl with daddy issues does and sleep around until you find someone who reminds you of your dad and then cling on to him in the hollow hope that that man will give you the love your father never did.
