I ask because I was raised in a very insular fundamental cult, and I left when I had kids because I thought they were full of crap and I wasn't going to do that to my kids. But the question of god still bothers me sometimes because I was taught, according to that scripture, that God must of rejected me for me to be able to leave. So I'm left with limited options, either God is real, and doesn't want me, or it's all fake. Or there's a third option I don't see yet. To be honest, I'm not completely comfortable with either option, so I'm curious your take. Thanks!
Edited to add:. I'm a tad disappointed that op is still actively answering questions, but seems to have missed mine, it was a legit question and something that has bothered me for some time, but no other priest has been willing to answer me either, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It's just, I left the religion to protect my children because of some policies I disagree with. To be taught that God has rejected me for protecting my kids rather conflicts with the God is love the thing they also preach. Either the religion is right, and I have been rejected for protecting children, or they're wrong, and I suppose priests don't like passing that judgement on another denomination of Christianity. So it goes I guess.
ETA: apologies to op, he did indeed answer and I appreciate it. :)

May I ask what your take on John 6:44 is?
