Mum and husband

I have been married to dh for five years, together for around ten years. Athusbandry mum and dp got on well, nothing significant changed exempt for a wedding and two kids! Now they don't to the point where they find it hard to speak much, my husband is not sure why this is but now she is short and rude with him, at o e point she took me to one sodemand asked me if i was scared of him, i actually laughed as i was so shocked by this idea. Looking back I find to hard to pinpoint where thiem not getting on began,
myself and my dp get on well, he is a gentle soul who is a good dad in my opinion.

My childhood was tricky and my dad was often unkind, during this time my mum was not supportive, maybe she did it see it or denied it, my mum and dad split when I reached adulthood, since this time she has acknowledged that my dad was abusive but before they split I did feel like my dads behaviour towards me was my fault.
It has now got to to the point where I feel I have to help resolve the situation between my mum and dp but I don't know where to start.
I would appreciate some advice if you could be kind enough

Okay, well I think I got through that. Have you asked your mum why she thinks you might be scared of him?

I have not asked her directly, to be clear there is no reason why she should think that I should be, he is so lovely and is kind to her. I need to know how to challenge her without making it a big uncomfortable issue

I think you just need to ask her outright. what does your DH think of all this? Presumably he's noticed her changing attitude.
