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, 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, my estranged dad drunk-dialed me at 4 a.m. to apologize, and to make amends. After crying and forgiving, we hung up. Minutes later, he called back to retract everything he said after remembering how I was rude to him at a party 3 years ago. FML

Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML

Today, my dad got a new phone and put me on speed dial. I have received several voice mails from him accidentally dialed. They are from him riding the train, in a meeting, having lunch, and, most recently, him taking a monstrous dump. FML

Today, on the train, I got excited when I suddenly noticed I had a missed call and voicemail from a boy I liked. With a grin on my face, I told my friend. My dad overheard and said, "Oh sweetie, he probably had the wrong number." The voicemail was blank. I texted him. The call was indeed an accident. FML

Today, I was involved in an intense argument with my dad. Just as I yelled, "You haven't done one thing for me", my phone rang. The same phone that, as of today, my dad no longer pays the bill for. FML

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

Today, I finally had a phone call after a week of nothing. It was my mother. It was by accident. FML

37 and 43, you both obviously know nothing as I know several lesbians whose parents--fathers and mothers--have disowned them. Don't base what you're saying on assumptions. I also don't know any gay males (of which I know many) whose parents have disowned them. This is not discounting what you're saying about fathers disowning their gay sons or saying that the likelihood of being disowned is greater for lesbians than gay males. I'm just stating facts.

I agree with #6 But word of advise, One thing I have learned in life is to try your best not to stay mad at people. You never know when anyones final moment on this earth will come. In this case, don't give up making peace.

#11, it still hurts to be shunned by people that close to you. Especially if you had a relationship similar to that of "iconic figure" and "worshipper". You know, like, want to be just like them. And then something happens. And they hate you. It hurts. Just saying. Edit: Lol #28. :D

#69, thanks for contradicting yourself so I don't have to bother to figure out how the hell you could possibly misconstrue what I said.

Ignore #4. My "father" is the same way. Fathers who do this to their own children are miserable, worthless, pieces of crap. Just because your sperm donor is half a man you shouldn't feel dejected in any way. You're probably way too good a person for that.
