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

Your fault. You clearly must have done something to piss him off that much.

i surely hope you wern't the type of parent that couldn't handle being a parent and skipped town. Then come back years later after the hard work is done to get back in their life.

my best friend's dad was not in his son's life cause he felt he was "too young for that responsibility.". never called, visited, sent pics, paid child support, nothing. 19 years later his dad married, had 3 girls and prob longed for a son. light bulb goes off in dad's head "wait I do have a son" and gets in touch with him for the first time after 20 yrs! My best friend refused to talk saying his dad was dead to him.

YDI for calling him... he left home to get away not to be bothered by his folks. leave him alone if he wants to call you he will if not so what. get a pet.

I WILL ADMIT IT, I MODDED THIS... Haha, been too long since I modded FMLs and what do I see? Quite an FML! It really sucks. What happened? Why does he hate you so? I really have to wonder... You're obviously trying to get into his life and upset by his reaction, so I find it possible you're not a deadbeat or a dick... or maybe you WERE but now you're working on fixing it. If it's the latter, sorry man, but you'll probably never be able to fix this part of it. You can keep trying, but you should concentrate your energies into causes that aren't yet lost in your life. If it's not that and it's something like... I dunno, your divorce upset him, or he hates your current wife (his stepmother), or his mother poisoned him into thinking you were evil, or maybe something not spousal affiliated, maybe you were a sperm donor or you and his mother gave him up for adoption, or maybe something recent past that you've been trying to apologize for... it sucks your son's a dick, hope you can get over that. You know, my grandfather once sued my aunt's husband for stealing his stuff. A long time ago, my grandpa was living with his current wife or girlfriend... something... any way, she (the wife/girlfriend) wanted him gone, but she never bothered to tell him that. She told him by asking my then-uncle to move his shit onto the lawn when he was at work. He convinced my aunt to help. He stole some things from him while he did that (he was a weasely little bastard, as you can imagine). He (my grandpa) got pissed off and sued his sorry ass, and my aunt got pissed because "that was his son-in-law and suing him was like suing her" and refused to speak to him for years. So yeah, sometimes, your children are stupid assholes.

ydi your son didn't just decide he doesn't want to talk to you. you mustve done something wrong...

You must have done something, so YDI for being a shitty father. Also, you can always call him. Why do dead beat dads always play the victim card?
