Asalaam alaikum (peace be upon you) :)
I think that many new reverts feel sad and may even envy some born muslims because when you become Muslim, its likely that your family is going to turn against you.
It's well known throughout history, and two well known examples of this are Sa'ad ibn Abi Waqas and Mus'ab ibn Umair:

But that wasn't the aim of what i wanted to say..
Many born muslims revert back to Islam after they've experienced the 'hard life' - they might turn to Islam whole heartedly when they ponder over it deeply and feel that they need a better change. The majority - especially in todays time - learn Islam by themselves when they feel they need help from Allah, and don't really learn it from their parents.
The problem that some born Muslims face is similar to many reverts aswell, and their parents become scared that their child is becoming either 'too extreme', or is straying away from a deviated sect that muslim family might be following.
So in reality, even born muslims go through similar. Their parents can be on either side of the scale, i.e. too secular or too stuck up in the teachings of a deviated sect which promotes acts which are totally contradictory to true Islamic teachings (probably because they too were brought up following these false teachings.)
So don't worry too much, those who follow the true guidance, they are usually the minority throughout history - even amongst us born Muslims! And this shouldn't put us off, rather we should be thankful to Allah that He has guided us.
