Today, I came home to find my dad drinking. Trying to be cheerful, I greeted him with a "Hi, dad!" He sighed, shook his head, and said "It hurts me when you call me that." FML

He must be delusional. Being called "dad" is one of the best things ever.

Maybe next time try "Hi, Papa"

It's time for a family conversation, OP. Get an envelope from a paternity testing service, put a couple pieces of blank paper in it and have in on the table. Start the discussion with "Is there anything you'd like to tell me?"

he'll appreciate you calling him dad if you start calling him Richard all the time

See what a thesaurus gives you that will probably work better...

I would tell respond with well it hurts me that we are related by blood but hey shit happens nothing we can do about it ??

Hang on, is it the 'hi' or the 'dad' part he had a problem with? Maybe he had enough to drink that he thought you were asking if he was 'high' and didn't like it.

Say it everyday until he's sober.

Maybe he thought you meant "High Dad!" And he doesn't want to be called high!
