Advice on letting go of anger

Hello all. Just a quick recap of my story (for full info see "Whats his deal?") My ex and I have been broken up since July and continued to date and sleep with each other for another month. We broke up because he was an extremely insensitive boyfriend and his attempts at "friendship" were even worse. I gave him everything and did everything to make him happy and he just spit on all my efforts. He did not support me in the death of two family members who were really close to me an chose to spend the time I was grieving at the bar with his best friend who was always trying to break us up. Anyhow, I initiated no contact over 2.5 months ago and really picked myself up. I found another post-breakup guy to hang out with and we really helped each other through it. About 4 weeks ago, I met this guy who I have always had a mini-crush on and we hit it off really well. He is in a band and I went to see them play the following week and my ex showed up. He tried to talk to me and gave me the puppy dog eyes and s*** and I basically ripped his heart out and stomped on it. He asked me how I was (expecting me to tell him how I needed him to breathe) and I said, "The best I have ever been" and walked away. I felt so good about myself because one of the reasons we broke up was because he gave me that bulls*** about not having time for a g/f and that stuff and I found out he was seeing someone else. So after the awful confrontation, I spent the rest of the show with the mini-crush. Another week later he asked me to be his g/f and I was so excited. The relationship is great and I don't ever wish for a second I was back with my ex. Just lately I have been feeling very hostile and angry about the things my ex did to me. I have really started to resent him and I am not an angry person. I want to let this all go. Do you guys have any suggestions on this? I am going to start meditation, but I am looking for other things too. Thanks guys.

just realize he made a big mistake and that he will what's coming to him down the line.

Time helps too...the feelings of anger go away as time apsses.

Thanks for the advice. I know in my heart that he made a mistake and he wont find better than me. Just in the past couple days I have been very angry towards him. I am sure it will pass though. Thanks for the advice Weird.
