I would call right away. And again,and again, and again. Just like out in service. Do the Dubs quit making the RV's justbecause another family member closes the door in his face ?
Of course not!
She probably didn't even tell him you called.
Let him decide whether he wishes to speak to you.
If it continues that she keeps screening his calls and refusing to let him talk to you, you could call their local police and tell them that you are concerned due to your dad's age that your step mother might be involved in abusing him. Explain that you have been trying to call, and that she keeps refusing to allow you to speak with him. At the very least, they will need to investigate, and that will get their attention.
Sorry to hear it. But don't do this:

When somebody here complains that elders are trying to track them down, or some crazy family member won't leave them alone, we tell them to screen their calls, change their number, and report it to police. He has made a choice, if you can't accept it, at least don't harass him. Try them again in a few months - she'll most likely tell him what happened, and he'll most likely tell her that he wishes she hadn't done that. These things take ages. Meanwhile, go do a lot of fun things and live your life.
I love Skully's suggestion. My first instints were, to tell her you had just won the lottery and wanted to share with loved ones.
(((((((esw1966)))))) I think you should call again and if she says he doesn't want to talk to you make sure you let her know that you need to hear that from him.
Otherwise I think Scully's idea is ingenious.
I hate to be one to one to cause worry when there shouldn't be any but ... I would wonder if she realized who was calling and Dad is in the hospital or something. She could have been thinking "if this person doesn't KNOW .. they must not really know Albert."
ESW- So sorry your dad's wife acted this way to you. I would not let her come between your dad and your relationship also. Keep working on your dad . i think he'll come around in time. Peace to you, Mr. Flipper
