Barakallahu feekum Sheikha for sharing your experience coming to Islam. I always felt that having practicing Christian parents made it harder for me as a revert in the beginning. Like you I also felt this gave me that push to learn more about comparative religion so that I could answer them effectively. That soon meant I was no longer challenged about my deen alhamdulillah. I think often identity is a big issue and for many parents they believe that youre changing your identity and becoming arab or asian. When they see this is not the case I think it helps, that and having grandchildren 😅. Alhamdulillah
