I always question ym self before and until now. Why god can be so cruel? Ever since here never showed mercy to me, ever since he never let me feel happiness.

God is NOT cruel. He is good all of the time.
But life can be pretty cruel at times.
Before you judge God (putting yourself in His rightful place) I suggest that you read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and see exactly what His character is and what promises He makes.
Since God has NOT promised us happiness it is not something to expect from Him.
The Father's Love Letter by Barry Adams puts it beautifully.

Ok, I'm gonna first answer your question starting with a bible verse.
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bare. And when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
-1 Corinthians 10:13
And now for a story....
There was a bear trapped in a bear trap and a person walked by. The person felt sympathy towards the bear and tried to help him. He first shot the bear with tranquilizer darts to relieve his pain. The bear thought that he was being attacked! Then the person had to get rid of the bear trap, but in order to do so, he had to first push it inward so that it would loosen the spring before removing it. This causes the trap to sink more deeply into the skin causing the bear more pain. The bear does not realize that he is actually being helped and saved. All he tries to do is bluntly try to fight the person. This is kind of how God works. You think he's hurting us but he's actually helping us. How it actually does help us you will never exactly know until you meet him up in heaven. Don't worry, trust God because he has a plan for you. You probably hear that a lot but that's because it is true. Your pain or suffering could lead another chain of events that eventually lead you into something better in life so the pain doesn't even matter anymore. When you achieve something, you don't remember the pain and suffering as much as the achievement itself. I hope this answers your question. Mail me if you truly want more insight.

Happiness is an attitude and God is not responsible for our attitudes. We can only ask God for certain things, first off we should ask for his NAME (and his name is NOT God) to be respected, then for his will to be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven, etc. Then we can pray for our own health and well being. But, we should always put God first.
God is not cruel, this world and this world's ruler, Satan is, however. We should not expect for God to fix all our problems and make our world right, that will not happen until his Kingdom returns. Sorry.

God is not cruel. It's how you perceive your own surroundings in order for it to be cruel. Don't let anything get to you and you will do fine.

I wonder if you aren't to blame for your unhappiness. I am not condemning you, and pray you don't take it as such, but I suspect you are blaming God for what the devil has done. If you are unhappy, just talk to God as you would another person and lay everything on the line, and I am sure He will help you. God bless.
