This absolutely is domestic abuse. Manipulative and Controlling humans like this exist and continue to degrade society because they are not given their justice due. They are incredibly harmful because of how difficult this behaviour can be to ID. A trained therapist would recoginse this immediately. It is the equivelant of being able to lock someone up against thier will in a basement and force them to say their happy or they deserve it. How many individuals don't reach their potential because someone sadistic and oppressive continually steals their will to thrive? You have every right to support, to speak out against this sort of behaviour. Your mum deserves much better and probably doesn't reaiise how enjoyable it would be to be on her own for a bit. It sounds like he doesn't deserve how many chances she's given him.
