My father answers the phone like a woman. When I call him, I will ask to speak to him. And he will then ask me who this is, and I will tell him, and then he will say hold on.. And then about 30 seconds later he will come to the phone, with his regular male voice. I know that it is him, because once he told me that he disguises his voice because my half sister calls him and he is trying to avoid her. One time, I asked him whom that was answering his phone, he told me that it was a friend of my brother's. I asked him what is she doing over there, and he was like, Oh, she comes over here to visit him sometimes. But, I am telling you, that voice sounds really weird. It does not sound like a male or a woman's voice... It sounds like someone trying to imitate someone else. Why is my father lying to me? Why can't he just be honest and tell me that it is him doing this. I am his daughter.. He can be honest with me.. As far as I know, he is not gay.. He does not act gay.. But he just does odd things.. What kind of relationship does he expect to have with me, if he keeps on lying?

From all of your discussions about your father he does not sound like an honest person at all. Why would he avoid your sister? Maybe he took money from her as well and is keeping that from you and doing to her what he did to you.

Have you talked to your sister to see what thats all about? You and your sister need answers I think and I doubt you will get any straight ones.

well he must be just fooling around, I have a friend and he likes to fool around on the phone, sometimes he would change his voice and pretend to be a policeman looking for me or my hubby, he never fool me though because I know his trick but he can fool my mother in law and sometimes she will be worried because she thought the policeman wants his son

Yes, but my father usually answers the phone like this many times.. When I am calling he does.. But, he sometimes, don't even know that it is me.. He will ask, who is it, instead.. I would have to tell him that it is his daughter.. This is not something he just does to joke around when necessary.. He answers the phone like this normally..

ummm...idk that is definately weird. i mean does he not have caller ID like everyone else. If not get it for him and then if he is still doing this then i would say he is not trying to avoid someone, there is something more strange going on there.

H[i]i cream,
wow...really? He needs to grow up, sorry to say that..I can't understand why he is acting like that! This is new to me, I haven't heard any father who is doing that but I had friends before when I was single who will answer the phone using different voice because he is trying to avoid one caller and if he knew that it is not the one who call, he will change right away![/i]

Hello cream. I think that there must be some reason behind it why your father answers the phone like a woman. You could have a heart-to-heart talk with your father for it and I am sure that he will be willing to tell why. Good luck to you, cream.

I doubt it. Just by me asking him simply about it he still turned around and lied.. So what makes me think that he will spit out the truth.. I have asked him about this before. And he just lies and makes up the same excuse.. I am tired of asking him. he must have forgotten that he had already told me that that was him answering the phone like that. He just don't remember. My dad just needs to stop playing around..

that is bizarre!! it doesnt mean he is gay he could just have a weird personality.. maybe he has some minor mental problems (nothing serious but like with bipolar you have wild mood swings and sometimes it makes people act silly - just as an example) or maybe he is messing with you?? i dont know 
is he a kidding type person? if so maybe he isnt viewing it as lying but just trying to tease you with it.. i know you mentioned he does weird things which you didnt list but maybe he has OCD.. some people just view some people as bizarre because they have certain little things they do that are odd and it turns out that they have that.. other than those i have no idea but i hope you figure it out soon!!

No, my dad is very hard to figure out. He talks so much junk about others, but he will never admit where he is wrong at. Just two days ago, he hung the phone up on me, because I was asking him about my money. He never could tell me if he took my money or not. The guy said he did. Every time, I go to ask him about the money, he will just talk over me and ignore my question. My guess is that he did not give any money to anybody, he just took it for himself.

I am not quite sure the reason behind this. What might be the reason for a father to hide something from his daughter? Anyway, this is something very strange. Just getting confused. You need to talk with him direct.

I guess he plans on having a conditional relationship.
