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

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 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?

i surely hope you wern't the type of parent that couldn't handle being a parent and skipped town. Then come back years later after the hard work is done to get back in their life.

my best friend's dad was not in his son's life cause he felt he was "too young for that responsibility.". never called, visited, sent pics, paid child support, nothing. 19 years later his dad married, had 3 girls and prob longed for a son. light bulb goes off in dad's head "wait I do have a son" and gets in touch with him for the first time after 20 yrs! My best friend refused to talk saying his dad was dead to him.

I WILL ADMIT IT, I MODDED THIS... Haha, been too long since I modded FMLs and what do I see? Quite an FML! It really sucks. What happened? Why does he hate you so? I really have to wonder... You're obviously trying to get into his life and upset by his reaction, so I find it possible you're not a deadbeat or a dick... or maybe you WERE but now you're working on fixing it. If it's the latter, sorry man, but you'll probably never be able to fix this part of it. You can keep trying, but you should concentrate your energies into causes that aren't yet lost in your life. If it's not that and it's something like... I dunno, your divorce upset him, or he hates your current wife (his stepmother), or his mother poisoned him into thinking you were evil, or maybe something not spousal affiliated, maybe you were a sperm donor or you and his mother gave him up for adoption, or maybe something recent past that you've been trying to apologize for... it sucks your son's a dick, hope you can get over that. You know, my grandfather once sued my aunt's husband for stealing his stuff. A long time ago, my grandpa was living with his current wife or girlfriend... something... any way, she (the wife/girlfriend) wanted him gone, but she never bothered to tell him that. She told him by asking my then-uncle to move his shit onto the lawn when he was at work. He convinced my aunt to help. He stole some things from him while he did that (he was a weasely little bastard, as you can imagine). He (my grandpa) got pissed off and sued his sorry ass, and my aunt got pissed because "that was his son-in-law and suing him was like suing her" and refused to speak to him for years. So yeah, sometimes, your children are stupid assholes.

You must have done something, so YDI for being a shitty father. Also, you can always call him. Why do dead beat dads always play the victim card?
