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

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, 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, after months of job hunting, I finally got a phone call. They were impressed with me. That's when my son decided to throw a tantrum asking for food. After some silence, the caller told me they were looking for someone who wasn't juggling little kids at home and hung up. My son is 20. FML
Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, I called my mom for the first time in a few weeks, just to chat because I miss her. When she picked up, the first thing she said was, "Why are you calling? What's wrong? Do you have swine flu??" When I told her that I didn't, and I just wanted to chat, she hung up. FML
Today, I called one of my old coworkers to see how she was doing. My boyfriend answered the phone. FML
Today, at midnight, I heard my son calling for his mom. I stopped by his room and asked him what was wrong? He didn't tell me. Instead, he said: "Oh, I don't need you." FML
Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML
Today, for the first time in over a year, my mother actually called me. I excitedly picked up the phone. All I heard was rustling; her purse dialed me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

what the hell is WRONG with you people?? his son is OBVIOUSLY an asshoole that just hung up on his own father. Even though i have my own issues with my dad i would never do some thing like that

Yeah, whatever he did, a year is ridiculous to not even talk when the dad's obviously trying!

Yeah, I love how everyone on here is blaming the OP for their son being a jerk - Yes, OP may have done something to his son that upset him so badly they haven't spoken for a year, or the son may just be an idiot who blew some little event way out of proportion and decided never to speak to his dad again. Or they could be both at fault for this. OP - I would suggest you send your son a letter or something (try not to use emotional blackmail, it just pisses people off). Apologise for whatever you did wrong or, if you don't know what the problem is, ask him. In my experience, letters are generally better than phone for this kind of conversation; there's no pressure on your son to respond if he doesn't want to (unlike a phone call), and you and he can both take the time to think about what to say to each other.

There really isn't enough information to judge this situation. The dad could have done something really awful to his son which may be hard to forgive or impossible to forgive.. you never know. They may have already discussed what happened and the son decided he wanted to cut his father out of his life completely. I wouldn't be saying the son is an asshole or that the dad is an asshole. They both could be assholes!

Honestly, I think the father could just be an ass and the son really doesn't want to speak to him. It's why my brother never calls :/ But that could not be the case. I think more information is needed...

My dad is dead, so I would kill to talk to him. People take too much for granted. Shame.

I'm in the UK and I pretty much hate my entire family, stop generalising everything you! It's racist.

Whatever, my biological father is a loser and I'd do that to him too. Not saying you are, but seeing it from the kid's perspective gives me a lot less sympathy for estranged parents. Chances are, you deserve it.
