From angry divorced guy to engaged stepdad

Few years back I was that bitter single dad, hated my ex, felt like life did me dirty. Just angry all the time. Met my now wife at a friend's BBQ and literally everything started to shift. Realized the anger was eating me up and hurting my kids. Started therapy, did the work, eventually actually healed. Now I'm married to an amazing woman, her kids call me dad, and I got my bio kids half time too. My kid mentioned last week how much happier I am and that hit hard. I'm not gonna lie, I do miss some of the old freedom and there's still complicated stuff with my ex, but this blended family we built is way better than the angry solo dad version of me.
