Welcome Baitachal!
I read some of your posts and also introductions of others from muslim-countries. Here in germany, if I wanted to worship a holy cow, I could do that. But we do pay a price for our extreme individualism. As you surely know, it was even worse here in europe in earlier centuries, as the church still had secular power. Sometimes I think if they already had the nuclear bomb at that time, europe surely wouldn't exist today. I can believe and practise what I want here, not because people are so much more friendly and tolerant, but because they don't care! Once I was in the underground railway and a man, perhaps a jehovas witness, began to speak to me about God and Jesus. I listened because I wanted to be friendly and some things he said were interesting. Suddenly he stopped and looked around and said See how people shake their head when I speak about God. And he didn't speak too loud or in a fanatic way. Indeed they couldn't even bear that someone talked about God.
You didn't become just an ex-muslim like so many, you were able to come to the conclusion that Quran only is the correct way. So I think your parents must have done something right in your upbringing, as you seem to be very young. I really try to think myself into such a situation like yours, that's difficult. I think you manage it
very well. -

I think I've always just pondered and had a curious mind, and a strong will. So when I was confused and disheartened by my faith, I didn't want to give up. I needed to know more. Alhumdulilah I found a way. I still get doubtful thoughts but I'm always questioning and searching for more. I will never give up. I know Allah is with me.
