Your mum is in an abusive relationship. She may be able to handle herself, as you state, but relationship dynamics can cause people to submit to others whims in ways they wouldn’t normally.
Kudos to you for sticking up for your mum regarding the drink scenario.. I suggest that you stick around, and have a private conversation with your mum, ensuring that she knows what you have observed, and assure her that you’re there for her..
I know you live abroad, but if I was in your shoes, I’d be making regular trips back home to see how my mum is faring..
Im not adding my own bits to your words. Im going on what the op wrote. I agree with what you’ve said, but my point was OP wanting to wash his hands of him and let the ex deal with it. Safety should always comes first, but he should never turn his back on the kid

This guy is a domineering jerk..
I immediately thought of art studio guy.
The POS needs to bring some money. Put a stop to his BS .
Talk to him direct. Your home, your family.
Your mom might be financially dependent on your Dad but divorce courts and lawyers can fix that.
Tell her
In what world is me doing something kind for someone I'm not seeing was horribly mistreated making me their concern?
