the possibility that your spiritual connection to God the father via Christ his son was suppressed by the toxic environment of TF? Just getting free of the oppressive spiritual forces which rule over TF would make anybody feel closer to God.
Could it be that Christ still lives within you, even if you aren't on speaking terms with him? I know that for me, even after I had totally backslidden and turned away from God, Christ was still there...patiently knocking at the door of my heart. When I suddenly found myself at death's door, helpless in the jaws of an alligator, I called out in desperation "Lord Jesus, save me" and I instantly felt his supernatural presence. He had been there all along, just waiting for me to call on him in my hour of need.
I don't know if that big dumb lizard was being directed by anything other than hunger, but I'm convinced that my cry to Jesus made him suddenly release my arm and swim away. If he had held on for just a minute longer, I would have drowned. What's in a name? For me, everything. (Acts 4:12 KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
