I can see two things. 1 the OP has a history of repetitively asking for money or something but can't be arsed actually spending time with his father hence the being hung up on. 2 the father is just an arsehole who doesn't know what he's missing out on. 3 the ops parents separated when the OP was old enough to know what was happening and chose to live with his mother even though she could be the one who left his father and didn't give his father a chance to spend time with him or. 4 he can never be bother just giving a quick call every now and then to see how his father actually is.

I had something similar happen. I hadn't talked to my father in awhile and then I invited him to my graduation and he said he couldn't because of financial issues (since he lives in California and I lived in Washington). He has a VERY nice house with a pool, had just got a new car and GAVE the old one away, AND I invited him in July when my graduation was in the next June. I stopped talking to him, then he finally agreed to come and brought his two kids, wife, AND mother in law. OP should not HAVE to initiate the conversation. It should be the parent's responsibility, not 100% but still more than the child's. And the fact that he said wrong number despite knowing who was calling is beyond rude.

Well its going to be his loss because you will probably invent something revolutionary or become a multibillionaire entrepreneur and then he'll act like he was there your whole life..... Like i said its going to be his loss!!!!

Maybe if u used proper grammar he would nay have hung up on you. It should have been hey how have you been dad? Not how you have been dad. Geez

My dad was like this towards my brother for about 5yrs. He kicked him out after his constantly bs. My brother deserved it cause he was physically abusive to me to the point he broke some of my bones, stole from us to sell and buy drugs.

That sounds like something my dad would do..

As someone with an asshole for a dad, you are better off without him. Do not need that kind of nastiness mucking up your life.

If I were you, just don't worry about it. He sounds like he interested in being a father, so you're better off without him at your graduation.

I think it was really a wrong number, you should check the number OR your dad is so great.

Hmm you're probably a shitty child.. Don't blame him
