Praise God!
He loves you so much, he's not going to let you go. Maybe He's got something big planned for you. Read the book of Job, then the story of Jonah - really read it carefully. It says more than folks think it does.
God doesn't do anything bad to us. He does, sometimes, allow us to suffer the reprecussions of the decisions we make.
Tell God what you think. That is what prayer is for. The Bible says "cast all your concerns upon Him". He's powerful enough to deal with your complaints. But be careful...if you open your heart to Him in prayer, He WILL answer.
May God bless you cousin, and your search for Truth.

Bad things do happen. That doesn't mean that God doesn't care. We won't always understand His plan. This is the time when you especially have to lean on God. I know that's probably not what you want to hear, but that is just how life works. No matter how angry you are at God right now, you will still be judged in the end. So be careful how you react to your circumstances because Jesus is the only way to Heaven.

I feel so sorry for what has happened to you. There is always a message for us when we suffer. Look for it.
Why does evil exist? This unavoidable and painful question can be adequately responded to only by the entire story of Christian faith, which includes the goodness of creation, the drama of sin, God's Covenants, the sendings of Jesus and the Spirit, and the founding of the Church. It includes the sacraments and the invitation to eternal life (which mysteriously can be rejected by anyone). Every aspect of Christian life is part of the answer to this question of evil.
God did not create a perfect world. In fact, God could have created a better world (St. Thomas Aquinas). God created this world "in a state of journeying." The more perfect exists alongside the less perfect. Nature has both constructive and destructive forces. Physical good will always be mixed with physical evil until creation reaches perfection.
Angels and men can freely choose to go astray. God never causes moral evil, either directly or indirectly. He permits moral evil because he respects man's freedom and knows how to draw good out of evil. "We know that in everything, God works for good for those who love him" (Rom 8:28). "God would never allow any evil if he could not cause good to emerge from it" (St. Augustine).
It takes time to see how God draws good from a moral evil. After being sold into slavery, Joseph told his brothers, "It was not you who sent me here, but God. You meant evil, but God meant it for good" (Gen 45:8, 50:20). God used Jesus' death (the greatest moral evil) for our redemption. Nevertheless, evil never becomes a good.
The saints witness to God drawing good out of evil. "Some rebel against what happens to them but God does nothing without the salvation of man in mind" (St. Catherine of Siena). "Nothing can come but that God wills" (St. Thomas More). "The Lord showed me that all manner of things shall be well" (Julian of Norwich).
Because we have only partial knowledge, many aspects of God's providence are hidden from us.
God bless!

Dude, calm down. Smack happens. I know the human brain is wired to much more easily remember good things more than bad things. Try your very best to remember good times.
I think god's a douche too, (i'm an atheist) but I would much rather see some positive posts from you in the future :-)

God has nothing to do with is. Your perceptions are focused on what is wrong in your life, instead of what is right.

For pete's sake, God isn't testing you. It doesn't work that way. Life's just hard sometimes.

what a pity, do realize that people just say "God is testing" was just to mess with you? I don't buy their bull**** because that is just dumb.

Please calm down.... you're going to give yourself health problems. I'll help you relieve some stress. God doesn't exist and hardships are only temporary. Now don't worry, be happy.
