When one continuously has conflicts with everyone else around you, it's often wise to ask if the problem is with everyone else or if it's with you.

I think we should do our best to be a strong witness of reconciliation, peacemaking, and love to our families.

Unfortunately, as a new believer, I didn't do that. I'm trying my best to do so now. I have to choose to be slow to speak and quick to listen.

I've heard that this was the norm or even worse in the early church when Jews or pagans were converted.
No need to dwell on it too much however.
Like I said they are slowing coming around and we are in being more loving to them too.

We have found that we do have many brothers and sisters in Christ. Hopefully you can connect with a church family.
