I could have

I recognized that whenever I got angry. I use to smoke.  Today I got so angry that I was almost in tears and could have smoked.  I haven't cried in a long time my feelings were so hurt. I was almost in tears.  Call me the drama queen if you want to.   Working hard to make better accommodations for my dad. Oh, I can't call him dad anymore says it makes him feel uncomfortable.  Anyway I told him I would call him by his last name.  

No matter what you do something is going to be wrong. I guess I was waiting for it and I lashed out.  I think it has always been this way and I told him so.  It seems to really be more because we are in the same house.   What did I do?  I moved some of his papers. Lo and behold the world is going to end. They were all over the floor and I had to vacumn.  Now he has to get them all organized again.   We got into it.  Says he has to get out of here.  I told him fine.   Anyway I didn't smoke but I could have.  I am sure I would have regrets if I did. I am glad that I didn't.  I could have used it for an excuse.

 Now it is from tears to laughter.  Oh well I must be going crazy.   I am leaving and I may not come back.  I am turning out all the lights.  I am locking him up and throwing away the key.  Help. I didnt smoke.  I could have but I didn't.  I will be glad when I learn how to handle my emotions.  Yuck this sucks.
