Is there a word for that specific mixture of emotions: that you're angry about what it took to get where you are, but you're glad for where you got to?
...which covers a number of cases, yours being one of them.
Your case is bad means leading to a good effect, There are others, say bad means leading to good and bad effects. That one is mercurial, in that your evaluation of the weight of the effects may change because you and the situation changes, continues evolving. All could be considering "learning a lesson the hard way".
