Soon to be ex-wife shows up unexpectedly night before last. Didn't know it was her, or that she was even coming, when I answered the door. Now, I haven't slept ore than three hours a night for weeks. Not much more than that for a couple months more. Been dealing with this divorce, thought I was going to lose my father, (still sketchy, but better), job is tanking. Got a couple other issues going on that I don't want to mention. I had had a couple snorts. Or three. I start to not let her in, but then I did. Wasn't going real great anyway, when she says "You think I like this?" The flood gates came wide open. I said to her all the things that I swore I would never say to her, even though they are true. I let it fly. Not cursing, not screaming, I just let it all out.
I thought I was better than that. I've been pretty cool abut this whole thing, after the initial shock. Saying these truths served no good purpose, and I'm ashamed that I was not better able to control myself.
She left stomping, and I doubt that she will ever speak to me again, which is actually the way I prefer it. I am mad at myself, though, for being weak enough to do that which I swore I never would.
I guess any pot boils over if the fire is on long enough.

Been kinda hiding out all morning, I expect I best go home and face the music.
I think some prayers might be in order![}:)]

Oh, believe me, they were the right words, and they came clearly and without a chance of misunderstanding. Unfortunately.

I mean really tying one on.
It clears the mind and opens the universe...the next morning anyway.[:I]
I have the same problem.
Whatever comes to mind gets said and usually with an intensity and volume others less cultured than I find offensive......
Don't stifle anything...that's never good for the soul/body.
