Just told my parent I don’t believe anymore. Urgently need advice.

HELP

PIMO here FINALLY making transition to POMO. This is my first time posting on this page. I have been lurking for years now and would like to explain my whole story at a later date.

I told my parent I don’t believe anymore 2 days ago which was triggered by the convention. We were supposed to go together of course but I knew I’m extremely mentally out of this religion for a LONG time trust me. I just really didn’t want to go at all and I finally snapped and just spat it out. Explaining all the details is too much but basically : parent said to tell the elders after the convention, said that I was still welcome to live with them, and seems to think these feelings are triggered by medication( being dismissive as hell tbh).I’m an adult and I’m legally on the lease to our home , I pay bills and everything. So chance of kicking out is low.My mental health is garbage right now but I’m not a threat to myself don’t worry.

My friends have reached out asking what’s going on because I had to cancel plans later this year . People are also asking my parent at the convention where I’m at. My coworkers this week are also going to ask where I was because I work with them . This is suuper messy right now . Family is reaching out trying to figure out why I’m not at convention as well.

With all this information : what should I do?? The convention ends tomorrow and my parent wants me to contact the elders then. My main concern for now is what to tell the elders . Do I refuse to talk ?? Helllllpppp seriously I’m in a pit rn. 😬I am very much so done with the whole JW thing.
