In need of support: Please keep me in your duas

Assalamu Alaikum everyone, I'm reaching out from Vietnam, where the Muslim community is very small, and in my area, there are hardly any Muslims at all. This makes it tough to connect with people in person or find a local group to be part of during my journey. For years, my only exposure to Islam came from media, which gave me and those around me a skewed, negative view. But after starting to read the Quran and researching on my own, I've truly been awakened. I've discovered that Islam isn't what's often shown-it's actually beautiful, and deep down, I believe it's the truth. Yet, I'm facing a real struggle moving ahead. In my culture and among the people closest to me, Islam is met with doubt or confusion. My family and my wife know almost nothing about it beyond the bad stereotypes from news reports. I'm really anxious that if I openly embrace my faith: * My family might cut ties with me completely. * My wife might strongly oppose my choice, which could threaten our marriage. * And I have no friends to talk this through with. I feel torn between the truth I've found in my heart and the fear of losing the ones I love most. I want to stay on this path, but the loneliness and possible conflicts at home feel too heavy right now. I'm asking for your duas. Please make dua that Allah grants me clarity, guides my heart, and opens the hearts of my wife and family. Please ask Him to help me practice my faith even in such an isolated place. If any reverts have faced something similar-like living somewhere with no community or having a spouse who disagrees with your decision-I'd really value any advice you can share. Thank you for listening and for your duas. Jazakum Allahu khayran.
