Today, I got the guts to call my dad for the first time in nine years. He said he "almost didn't remember" he "had another daughter." Another? FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 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
Today, I saw my dad for the first time in almost five years, at his funeral. FML
Today, my dad introduced me to my half-sister. He'd only recently found out that he had another daughter by another woman, and had only just met her. She and I have been in the same class in school for the past three years. FML
Today, I found out that the man I called grandpa for 40 years is really my dad. My drunk aunt spilled the beans. Her exact words were, "My dad is a better dad to you than he EVER was to me! You never wondered why he treated you better than his other grandchildren? You're his son!" FML
Today, I brought a boy home for the first time, only to have my dad ask him what his mother's maiden name was. When he answered, my dad exclaimed, "Oh yeah! I think I dated her in high school. I could be your father!" FML
Today, my estranged, alcoholic father decided to tell me I have a sister. After 30 minutes of him describing how beautiful she is, how much we look alike, and how she has lived one town away from me her entire life, I was excited to the point of tears. Too bad she died a year ago. Thanks dad. FML
Today, my father contacted me for the first time in close to 2 months. The first thing he did was ask if I wanted to buy some weed. FML
Today, I went to visit my dad for the first time in over a year, as I have been studying for my Master's degree in history halfway across the world. The first thing he said to me? "So, gotten a real job yet?" FML
Today, I contacted my biological father, after not speaking to him for some years, as we had a very strained relationship. I received an automated response. It's probably the best conversation we have ever had. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sorry that he has turned out to be just a "sperm donor" rather than a Dad. The good thing is that you know about his character (or lack thereof) and can look to other people to provide the "fatherly" attributes he has failed to provide.

Has anyone had the thought that OP's father was being sarcastic as they haven't talked in so long. Anyhow OP look on the bright side, you have a new sister you get to meet/know

I feel like you deserve it for not calling your father for nine freaking years.

Did you think maybe their relationship had been strained so she was reaching out to him? She may have not been calling her dad, but he wasn't calling his own kid either. And when you're talking to your own daughter for the first time in nine years, it's not always appropriate to say "I forgot I had another daughter." Sounds like the dad is the douche bag on this one.

how the hell is he an asshole for being ignored in nine years? He didn't hang up right away, or say wrong number. It seems like he wasn't objecting to the call, so the OP did something. You should strangle yourself.

Your hot what?

While I see where 67 is coming from, you have to remember a "father" is male. Men have problems with feelings some times. Yes they are both at fault. But maybe he was so shocked from her call that he said the first thing he could think of. Not a douche move. But then again, who knows for sure?
