Okay. As far as God 'taking away', as painful as it may be, the only explanation offered is:
We don't yet understand His will for us, or why it has happened, but should trust that He knows what He's doing.

God is completely in control, but He gives us choices and He is allowing both love and evil to completely reveal themselves for what they are.

You didn't keep either of these promises. 😉
