Hello, BE, and welcome to the Grammar Exchange.
The main problem with your example is that you should use "of" instead of "from": "as a result of this."
You can use three separate abbreviated sentences for emphasis if you like. An alternative is to incorporate those three words into the hosting sentence:
- Confusion set in and as a result of this and family rejection, I walked away—defeated, miserable, wondering.
Thank you, David! I appreciate your feedback.
