Your family will still be in heaven together. It's love that keeps a family together, not some ritual. Christians most certainly believe that families will be in heaven together. It's the plain and simple message of Christ, without all the technical difficulties that come with the temple and three heaven teaching. Mormons hijacked and took advantage of the "until death do us part" infusing it with their own meaning that was never intended. When Christians would and do utter the phrase it is not a theological teaching on the state of relationships after we die. It is meant to simply promise faithfulness to one another all the days of our lives. Billy Graham mentioned just how much he is looking forward to seeing his wife again, Ruth.
I have included some links below that will help you think through faith and religious issues outside of Mormonism and most importantly within a logical and reasonable framework. Philosophy of religion and philosophical theology are two academic disciplines that utilize the philosophical method for examining the evidence for God and examining the truth chains of religion. Top universities throughout the world have departments that specialize in it. After years of study, I have come down on the side for the existence of God. Our family is now a part of Protestant Christianity, although not tied to one denomination.
Here are some good sources. Reasonable Faith is a great website with lots of information, I would take some time looking through it. It also has a podcast titled "Defenders" under "Media" that will really begin to ground you in a mature faith. "On Guard" is an excellent book to get you started as well.

Best of everything to you. If you have any further questions just let me know. I'm happy to help.
For too long people have interpreted the Bible without taking into account its various genres. When that is done all kinds of problems ensue. There is narrative, narrative mixed with fable, wisdom, prophecy, poetry, personifications, embellished war narratives, etc. Some sections were thematic and meant to impart a theological teaching and were never intended to be taken literally. I would suggest a few sources to help.

Hi FiddlyChickens, I think you are on the right track of seeking the truth, and going where the evidence points. I think you are absolutely correct in identifying the supreme importance of answering this question first, since the implications are so tremendous.
I'll offer a Christian perspective on this search: as the atheists here repeatedly and correctly affirm, the best way to investigate Christian theism is to read the bible and do so with an open mind. You may have already spent extensive time studying the bible, but if not, the gospel of John (or any of the gospels) is a great place to start. I would avoid the man-made church traditions of Catholicism or any other Christian denomination until your question re: theism has been resolved. Surround yourself with respectful, open-minded people. Meditate, leave time for personal stillness, and journal.
If you're looking for strong arguments on the Christian side, read the "Student's Edition" (written to non-Christians) of On Guard by William Lane Craig (be forewarned, WLC is almost universally despised here) or Jesus Among other gods by Ravi Zacharias.
RE: Horrific thoughts
Indeed. I think these 'horrific thoughts' are some of the most common and basic thoughts to all honest people. For biblical responses and perspective, read Matthew 11:28, Jeremiah 29:13, and Matthew 7:7. The promise of God is that those who seek God find him.
And re: Your sexuality being a curse: Romans 8:1. There is no condemnation for those in Christ; gay, straight, or otherwise.
