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?

I disagree. My mother is a dumb ****, and I haven't spoken to her in over a year. If she called me right now, I would not answer. Some parents are just crappy and don't deserve to speak to their children.

Don't listen to the numbskulls, nothing wrong with wanting to talk to your son.

It's probably your fault.

Everyone has their own unique situation, and we don't have enough info about this one to determine who all the haters are gonna flame, so everyone stop putting the blame on either the son or the parent.

Seriously my dad is a dueshebag I am sixteen and he walked out on me and now calls me saying he wants a relationship! If your son is anything like me he will never forgive you!

OP, i admire the fact that you are persistent in trying to mend the relationship at least but after awhile you have to let go. If you did something and he doesn't want to forgive you then thats it or if he's just being a douche and doesn't respect you then you don't need to waste time on him. I know he's your kid and all but family is not blood deep its like the feels and all.
