I have had the same feeling and more when I left my first wife. My uncles and aunts changed their attitude, nephews, all jw's. Then when I moved together with my second wordly wife, they all turned their back to me. I once went back to my latest congregation in my latest missionary assignment. The worst experience I had in my life. My ex had told everyone what I had done, so my old friends in the congregation didn't even talk to me. I was so disappointed at that moment, some of theme relied on me and I did on them. Now I have some new friends, my brother who left the org as well, and two old friends, jw's more or less, more less, they smoke a cigar with me and sometimes some hasjies. I have a beautifull wife, a beautifull daughter ( adopted). And a lot of friends in her family which we visit every summer in the country where I once served.
