Navigating Difficult Relationships with Non-Muslim Parents

Assalamu alaikum. I'm really struggling with how to interact with my parents who aren't Muslim. Even though they often say and do things that go against my beliefs and can be hurtful, I'm trying to understand what my responsibilities are as a Muslim child. Islam teaches us to be respectful to our parents, but it's so hard when they're constantly disrespectful toward my faith. Sometimes I just want to cry, but I hold it in around them. I'm anxious about what will happen when I fully disclose my commitment to Islam to them, and I worry about our future relationship. Please make du'a for me to have sabr and guidance in this difficult situation.

I feel this so deeply. Sometimes sabr feels like the hardest ibadah, but you're doing great just by trying.
