Indeed Allah is the Doer of whatever He wills (11:107). At the same time He has taken upon Himself mercy (6:12). If repentance is done sincerely and with remorse, and the promise to God not to sin again is accompanied with true resolution, Allah is the All-Forgiver.

However if some duty has been missed (like prayer or fasting) or if the rights of some people has been violated (like in the case of stealing or backbiting), the person should also make-up for those errors and/or adjust what has been violated.

With prayers for your success.

Muslims believe that 'Isa Ibn Maryam, peace be upon him, was a humble servant of Allah, the Messiah, and one of His prophets and messengers. This is confirmed by the Qur'an who explicitly denies the notions of trinity and incarnation present in mainstream Christian doctrine.

The Qur'an says: "Indeed they have disbelieved those who say:- Allah is the Messiah son of Maryam-" (5:72) and "Indeed they have disbelieved those who say:- Allah is the third of the three-" (5:73). In fact "the Messiah son of Maryam was only a Messenger" (5:75).

Mainstream Christianity believe that Allah was incarnated in a human being, 'Isa Ibn Maryam, who they think to be "God made flesh" but such notion is not only rejected by the Qur'an and Muslims, it also cannot be proven by the Scriptures themselves as no "Gospel of Jesus" reached us in its original form.

it may be difficult to teach Qur'an to a child on a personal level, especially by parents with whom the child already has a particular bond which is not a teacher-student one. Attending a madrasah may give the child good discipline and make him to confront with other kids in religious matters. Also, it would make him understand the relationship that must be kept between a teacher and his students, and to observe all etiquettes and manners in this regard. It is therefore advisable to bring children to a good madrasah with competent teachers to learn Qur'an, the fundamentals of religion and Islamic behavior.

the wallet of your husband is considered as his property, so it is not right to take money from it without is approval.

In the mentioned case, the best thing would be to reach an agreement between you and your husband where you can save and share your money in fair and satisfactory way for both. If it is not possible, starting two separated accounts could be another option.

Islamically, the wife's money belongs to her and she can use in halal way at her discretion; therefore the husband has no right to prevent her from them unless there is a previous agreement that allows him to do that.

Some Sunni schools put emphasis on classifying the ritual prayers in Fard, Sunnah and Nafl. Accordingly, a Fard prayer is a mandatory prayer that Allah has prescribed on His servants (like the five daily prayers). A Sunnah prayer is complementary to the Fard prayer and it is the one that the believer should not miss without justification; however if there is a particular justification, it can be missed. A Nafl prayer is a optional prayer whose performance bring particular blessings but it is not compulsory in any case.

In the Shi'i world all supererogatory prayers are usually called "Nawafil" (plural of "Nafl"). There are ahadith in some Shi'i books, like "Tahdhib al-Ahkam" by Shaykh Tusi, from which we can derive the preference of some Nawafil more than others.

repentance is returning to Allah after having sinned or misbehaved. It implies remorse for a sin that has been committed, resolution fo not repeating the sin again, and giving back the right to the people that have being wronged (if any). Repentance does not imply mutilation of any part of the body and actually it is forbidden for a believer to self-mutilate himself.

since you were doing a good deed with good intention, you didn't do anything wrong, let alone not being Muslim or having left Islam. 

A believer should be aware that Shaytan is always ready to whisper to him and one way to fight him is to ignore bad thoughts and multiply good actions.
