Your relationship is with God and the Trinity (or higher power whatever that may be.) The church was just being an intermediary.
I left the Catholic church decades ago, I never bothered with a formal act of defection. I still attend Mass from time to time as it's easier to just go for the 1 hour and meditate instead of arguing with my mother for 3.
I enter into synagogues, mosques, and other houses of worship and as I see them as conduits to the God my understanding.
Forgive yourself for this act, erase the emotional debt since it's not yours to carry.
