Good1,
I do not know your own life path. I only based my VERY subjective opinion, just a mere opinion, on the very little and few posts you posted that I understood.
Now, I can be very wrong in thinking that may be in your view, you suffered too much. If you think that, then it is obviously a very valid opinion just now.
First you would have to decide what suffering is, and how much is "too much".
Your terminology implies there is a goodly amount of suffering, beyond which is too much.
I'm saying everybody carries a cross, so-to-speak, and that this cross is BUILT IN to the landscape.
So either the builder is a masochist, or, it wasn't built by who you say it was built by (the god of the bees, trees and seas).
On the other hand, if you have a hand in building the landscape, then your idea that there is a tolerable level of suffering fits in to that.
God is good. True or false?
God is what IS good.
If it's not good, it's not God.
The very word implies goodness.
However, i find that no man is able to determine what is good, and thus, no man is able to determine what is god.
Hence, man's imagination, and idols which are NOT good.
Ask 100 people what is good on any given subject.
See for yourself, man cannot agree on what is good, and so, does not know.
This ignorance is built in to the landscape.
Can man "experience" God and is it anything like falling in love? If 100 people experience God in the exact same way would they all agree it, the experience, or Him as they understood it is good?
Yes they would, if all experienced what is good, and so, what is God.
Then everyone would know what is good.
And yes, everyone would need to have the experience, beyond any description.
So who is withholding this experience?
I say, what is Good has never with held anything, ever, at all.
What is good about withholding?

And there is no comparison. No, it's not like what people call falling in love. No, it's not like married love. Not at all.
It's not even like a four hour lomi lomi massage.
Not like Ayauasca. Not like LSD.
Probly not even like a big hit of 5-Meo DMT
There is literally no like/likeness.
So it either is, or it isn't.
Everything else is parables that at best point in a good direction.
Probably most parables dont.
But let me try.
Take your wife. Take the greatest orgasm ever. Multiply the orgasm intensity by 100. Then increase the intensity to 1000. Hold that intensity forever, only increasing, never diminishing.
If this is available, either your wife is withholding from you, or you are withholding from your wife.
Rather, the withholding is built in to the landscape.

yeah, it's what we call bliss, and lasts about as long as an orgasm, and probably gets a man married to God the same way sex gets a man married to a woman.
Back to the binary therapy, Does evil exist? If god is positive is evil negative? Is what we call evil anti-god, in otherwords is evil the opposite of god and are they an equal force? Or will one day the whole universe become only positive charged and all negative charges cease to exist?

Disregarding the first sentence which states the bliss of Good is similar to and temporary as the chemicals that control the behavior of man, like an addiction...yeah, it's what we call bliss, and lasts about as long as an orgasm, and probably gets a man married to God the same way sex gets a man married to a woman.

Evil does not actually exist.
At best there is imagination within a very powerful mind.
Everything we call evil comes from the abuse of a powerful mind, comparable to imagination.
As you could reasonably conclude, imagination and reality cannot coexist. It's either one or the other.
Likewise, what IS good is the total reality.
What opposes it is imagination, or simply, all that is not true.
The truth about evil is it does not exist.
Now...
Having said that, the only way for a good god to remain good, in the face of your experience of evil, is for you to be responsible for your own experience.
God gave his "Son" a powerful mind...even unlimited power. All power given, none withheld.
What does the son do with his inheritance?
first time I ever heard that one, oh man, I'm going back to my imagination, I can't handle this reality.As you could reasonably conclude, imagination and reality cannot coexist. It's either one or the other.

You could probably find some good steaks in your imagination.
Anything within imagination can be called "good" or "evil". There is no such binary in the existence of, and so, the experience of the Good One's reality.
Many things in imagination are duel, called good under one circumstance, and evil under another. Pain for example. Good it warns of danger, bad it over stays it's welcome. Change. Good for a child that needs to grow. Bad for an old man that needs to die.
The entire realm of imagination is made up of theses strange dualities...these simultaneous binaries of opposite nature.
In such a world, any "good" thing can be weaponized. And then it becomes evil.
The steak that's good for you might be evil to the Angus cattle the gave it to you.
In reality, nothing can be weaponized.
Isn't that good?
