Has anyone ever served in a leadership position and been removed unfairly?

I was having some personal issues at home and was fighting thru it, with no offers of help from the pastor. 1 time I snapped at the pastors daughter, and on Sunday to some church members in the sanctuary. I never let this be directed toward the youth nor did I ever let it affect my duties. Yet when I went into the sanctuary upset last Sunday and some members prayed for me, 2 days later I was brought before the pastor, associate pastor and a church trustee and told they wanted to help, but the condition was I had to step down. I feel that the help should not have come with a condition. I spent 3 years of my life pouring myself with the help of my wife into the youth program, which included 2 years at camp. All this while working with my spouse battling a depression due to illness. During the 7 years we have been at this church rarely does anyone ever call us to see how we are doing, when I drove over the road only once did anyone call to see if I was still alive and after my wife got out of the hospital from pneumonia and was terminated from her job, they never stop in to see how she is doing, when i asked some women for help with the depression she was experiencing that said yes, but never did anything. When the pastor saw me hurting, never offered to help. So in my view, they took part of my heart away, and to appease themselves they say that they are doing it out of love..
