Hi and welcome focariedu21. Glad you and your family have woken up. I'm sorry to hear about your mum and dad. My husband and I have been out for about 5 years now (he was an elder for a while). We were in the north Brisbane area for the 40 years that we were JWs and I grew up with many Italians in our cong (in the days before they had a separate cong).
The limbo after first waking up is the hard bit especially with family. My family (dad who is an elder, brother and sister and their families - my mum died 6 years ago) started shunning us just over 2 years ago even though we are not df'd or da'd. My husbands brother has been in bethel for over 30 years the last 14 in Brooklyn bethel.
It was my husband and I who were left to care for his elderly JW mother by ourselves (she has parkinsons and schizophrenia). We ended up having her live with us for three and a half years which was very diffictult on our family. She ended up in an aged care home last year. My husbands brother and his wife were always too busy with their 'very important' (their words) bethel assignment and touring around giving talks to be bothered taking care of his mother. So most of it fell on my shoulders.
Things get better and more settled as time goes on after leaving JWs. We are slowly making new friends and have got in touch with non jw relatives who we barely knew. My son is very glad we left and is at uni and making a good life for himself away from the WT.
Looking forward to hearing more of your stories and hearing more about your film.
Wishing you and your family all the best
