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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found my biological father, who I have never met, on facebook and decided to message him. He blocked me. 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 met my biological father for the first time. He seemed to be slightly intoxicated from the outset, and less than half an hour later, he had tried to intimidate me into "loaning" him several hundred euros for reasons he wouldn't tell me. So long, "dad". FML
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
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 talked to my birth mother for the first time in over 26 years. Five minutes into our conversation, I remembered why I stayed away. FML
Today, my father who left my family over 10 years ago and never contacted us or paid child support, poked me on Facebook. 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 found the phone number of my biological mother after years of searching for her, and gave her a call. I introduced myself by name and said, "I'm your daughter." There was a pause at the other end, followed by, "The one I aborted or the one I gave away?" FML
Today, I asked my mom to tell me how she met my dad, because after 15 years me and my dad are finally working on our relationship. My mom thought it was a good time to tell me he’s not my father, and that my biological father wants to meet me this week. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't tell me your dad had one of those voicemail automated responses that make it seem like you are actually talking to him when you are not. Those things piss me off.

then I'm terribly sorry for your father, because he's missing out on a great person. Someday he will regret everything he said and did . every dog as there day! please don't be sad about your father, just be grateful that mother loves you and so does your family. and I think your a great person . god bless you .

That's the same relationship I have with my father.. I'd rather not go there. My day just goes to s***.

sometimes just because they are your biological parent doesn't make them worth having in your life. my biological dad isn't in my life and I am better off for it.

Well this was slightly dry humor...maybe cause the whole deal with Arnold being a deadbeat dad to an unacknowledged woman's child isn't huge news or joke material. Kudos those Boners, it was a marvelous attempt, and no one Could've done better.

Sometimes that estranged parent situation can't be fixed. They've usually already promised the world and didn't follow through. They go their cowardly ways because they think the relationship is broken. good luck though.
