No mention is made of his father- it's assumed that he never knew him. He remembers his mother from childhood, when the Revolution was taking place and they were living in a squalid tenement building surrounded by the fighting of the Civil War- they are all starving hungry, especially his ailing and emaciated baby sister who cries constantly. He recalls stealing her chocolate ration and running away across wasteland with his mother calling after him to give the chocolate back- when he returns home, his mother has disappeared and his baby sister's corpse is in her pram being devoured by rats, which accounts for his terror of them. It's not known what became of his mother, but it's assumed that she is either arrested and shot for some reason, or is killed by accident in crossfire.

What conditions do Winston and Julia agree to follow?

Your question is not entirely clear, however I will do my best to answer it.

I BELIEVE that you are asking what conditions they agree to follow when O'Brien is asking them to become members of the Brotherhood.

They agree to give their lives, commit murder, commit acts of sabotage which may cause the death of hundreds of innocent people, betray their country to foreign powers, cheat, forge, blackmail, corrupt the minds of children, distribute habit-forming drugs, encourage prostitution, disseminate venereal diseases, do anything which is likely to cause demoralization and weaken the power of the Party, throw sulphuric acid in a child's face, lose their identity and live out the rest of their lives as waiters or dock workers, and commit suicide if and when the Brotherhood says to do so. The condition of O'Brien's that the two do not agree to do is to separate and never see each other again.

They also make a pact between each other to not sell each other out when they are eventually caught, and to never stop loving each other.
