What steps can I take to protect my mental well-being and find peace when my mother's disapproval and negativity have consistently made me feel unworthy and like a bad son, despite my persistent efforts to gain her approval and happiness?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You must tolerate and tolerate and keep on tolerating everything from you mother or father even if you feel that it is injustice done to you or others. You way we can annoy the feelings of our parents even if they are very bad persons like Kafirs as we read in Quran how we must deal nicely with Kafir parents (If your parents strive with you to worship with Me others, that of which you have no knowledge, then Do not obey them, but behave nicely with them in this world. ( Sura Luqman, verse 15).

Tolerate ill treatment from your mother or father for the sake of Allah and keep on seeking help from Allah to be a good son. Also pray to Allah to soften your mother's heart towards you and forgive her shortcomings.Quranic supplication says ( RABBANA EGGFIR LI WA LIWAAKIDAYYA WA LIL MO'MINEEN YAWMA YAQOOMUL HISAAB)(Sura Ebraheem, verse 41).

My husband would like his mother to live with us as she is single and lives alone and he is the eldest son. Can he impose that decision or do I have the right to refuse if I fear that her living with us will cause problems in our marriage?
Seyed Ali Shobayri

Bismillah, 

Asalamu Alaykom, 

It isn't wajib for one's parents to live with them. Yes, one can live with the in-laws however in many cases it has caused issues in marriages. It is your right upon your husband to have a comfortable home and your own privacy. Yes, he can perhaps get his mother to move closer if he wants to have a good relationship with her but it wouldn't be recommend for her to move in if this would cause you discomfort. This should be voiced to your husband that it isn't obliged for you to accept this if it may cause issues. 
 

May Allah grant you success

My uncle, who has a son and a daughter, has passed away without making a will. Who does the inheritance go to in this situation?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Two thirds of what he left goes to the son, and one third goes to the daughter. This is if he left only one son and one daughter only with out wife. If he left a wife, she gets one eighth, then the remaining should be made in three equal shares, two shares for the son and one share for the daughter.

Wassalam.
