IMO, you can't experience union with God until you are in union with yourself. Jesus said a house divided can not stand. Maybe don't look for answers/validation outside, because those aren't the opinions with which you sleep, do your work. When you come into union with self, you'll realistically sort what you can change and what you can't. What are you willing to sacrifice to unite yourself with your Self (ideal)? If it's easy, it's not a sacrifice.
For me, going through that process brought me into union with God, what that idea means to me. And what that means to me may not be what that means to you. That's something to explore as you sit with yourself, good, bad, ugly, indifferent.

Psalms 4:4
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven
One thing I've learned: on the spectrum of hateful to kind, and everything therein, people are religious, atheist, agnostic. I hope you find healing on your path.

One who has a love of Christ tries to avoid hate. Hate sows murder.
