Leadership is one of the pieces of God's role and voice in your life, they aren't the only one. But to cut them off because of your issues and history is the equavalent to cutting out your hands because you stubbed your finger.
Leadership is part of the body and have a signifcant role to play, without it you will not come to the realization of your full and mature stature in Christ.
The answer to abuse and illegitimate uses of authority is proper use and legitimate ues. Find a healthy, Biblical based church and commit to it.
