I am a Muslim man, unemployed and living with my wife, three children, and mother-in-law, whom we care for. However, she mistreats me and constantly curses me and my parents. What actions should I take in this situation?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You need to tolerate her mistreatment and continue serving her and caring for her. Your tolerating her mistreatment will increase your reward.Wassalam.
Is it permissible for children to have a skeleton sculpture as a toy?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We don't have an authentic evidence to suggest that it is forbidden for children to play with such toys.. Nevertheless, it is better to avoid it as precaution.

What causes some children to endure challenging experiences, such as early family separation or lack of exposure to religion? Is it possible that these hardships result from their parents' sins and failure to repent to Allah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Despite the fact that bad deeds of parent can leave bad impacts on their children, but it is not the only real reason always. There are very pious parents like prophet Noah as a Quranic example who had a disobedient son despite all his kindness, wisdom and nice manners. Some times grown up children fall under influence of their evil desires and Satan and bad company and they don't follow their pious parents.

Parents should treat their grown up children in a friendly way and avoid enforcing attitude  which might create a bad reaction from the children against their parents.

Parents need to always try to protect their children from bad friends as much as possible.

Parents need to always pray for their children to be saved from Satan and Satanic people.

There are many supplications in Quran and Hadeeth in this matter.

I have a proposal from a Catholic man who wants to convert to Islam and has family support. Are there any restrictions regarding his family, him, me, or our future children in this situation?

Bismihi ta'ala

Congratulations on your proposal. If he meets the right requirements for a spouse, and there is compatibility, and families are happy, go ahead. 

No, there are no restrictions, other than the basic shar'i matters, like halal food, no alcohol, etc. Besides this, you and him can visit them in Christmas, and be with them, like any other family. 

And Allah knows best
