How to say "I snapped."

Question

I'm writing a creative story for a class. The narrator is someone who has grown up with an abusive father. At one point in the story something happens and she can't deal with it anymore and she goes off on him. But for this moment I want to say "I snapped." How could I say that?

Also, I want to say at another point in the story, "I opened the door wider." How can I say that?

Muchas gracias!

Answer 1

Abrí la puerta más ancha = I opened the widest door

Answer 2

"I snapped" is slang, so you could use "Me chiflé" or "Me zafé" but since these are also slang, they might not be understood in every country.

For "I opened the door wider," I would just say "Abrí más la puerta" or "Abrí la puerta más."

Answer 3

"Abrí la puerta más ancha" is how you say "I opened the door wider." "Tome" is how you say "I snapped."

Answer 4

I snapped is "estallé".
