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 here saying "YDI": **** YOU. When there is a parent and a child, who do you think should be the one to "patch things up"? The parent (the "responsible" one) and the one who did the spawning. And even if the child is gay you think he deserves to not have a father? What??? And female children have to be prostitutes in order to have their fathers walk out on them? Again: **** YOU. For all you stupid little bitches who have had mommies and daddies all your little lives and want to come on here pretending you have any ******* right to judge this person: **** YOU.

Story of my life...that happened to me...haven't heard from my father since Thanksgiving...reason being my mom is dating someone and I am ok with it...my parent's divorced 4 years ago and he still can't get over it, so he blames me...fml

#75, I didn't contradict myself. I was just stating that the likelihood of a lesbian being disowned by her parents is about equal to that of a gay male being disowned by his.

sometimes it's better when you don't have certain people in your life. Even if it hurts, it will be bearable eventually. :(

That really sucks, but I agree with #81. I am old enough now to look back and see that if my father HAD been in my life, I would almost definitely be a lot worse off than I turned out. Someone who would do that to their child does not deserve to be a parent. The exception is if you did something REALLY unspeakable to him/both parents. Then, and only then, I'd suppose YDI.
