My ex’s mom warned me too, not right away either, probably as she grew fond of me and I “slipped” deeper and deeper into the relationship.

I didn’t heed her warning, thought that even if it was remotely true, our relationship was different.

I left the 5th year with bruised ribs and blue eyes.

His mom later called me, relieved I had finally left, but sad I waited.

My ex doesn’t see either of his daughters, (mine and another lady’s) not hard to see why.

My own mother?
She warned my brother’s fiancés both times that he’s not marriage material, that he’s basically a pretty bum... They thought she was meddling and married him anyway. He’s now twice divorced...
