I don't know how to avoid bitter, having a bit myself. But, I know that bitter parents are not going to be good for the kids, so I think looking at what can be done to make YOU happy with YOUR life is a really important step. Because I think that is the best way to reduce the bitterness.
I was pretty down yesterday, hoping I am better today, though it is early to tell. I hope your day turns around!
