Anger issues or any mental issues are never shown properly on ITV. But if a person has some issues and you are aware of them, that should help you navigate things with them. I don't personally have anger issues, but my Mom did, and I often bore the brunt of it. The thing is, that doesn't look like this. People with anger issues are quick to anger, yes, and often have disproportionate reactions, even misplaced anger. But they are like that all the time and with everybody. Abhi was not. He is shown to be extremely caring a delicate towards Ak most of the time, except when she messes things up, and then he does get angry. And towards Neil and Manjari, he is never angry. But his anger is very reactionary. It's hardly ever like, he got irritated with someone and blasted them. He is also never shown to have any anger issues with random people, I think he fought once or twice, but even then, it wasn't like he had insane rage. Infact, the Abhinav scene was much worse for me, but that is also because it happened out of nowhere without context.
My point is I don't think Abhi has what one might term anger issues. It's more that he has disproportionate reactions to things. And this includes anger, love, sadness, guilt, etc. Ak knew this going into that relationship and had no issues with it. She only expressed any issues later after they got married. Abhi himself has tried to change himself multiple times. Each time he hurts people in his anger, he apologizes and tries to do better next time. In the last pregnancy time, he was extremely stressed and anxious but never really got angry with Ak. He kept trying to reason with her, trying to explain his pov, etc.
The reason why it's hard for people to dislike Abhi or term him an "abuser" is because, apart from some isolated incidents, they really haven't shown anything like that. And his motivations for those outbursts are also very clear.
As to him being a momma's boy, I disagree completely. I know momma's boys, and they are not like this. He loves his mother, and most of the time, she is the only one in his life who loves him. She influences him and often instigates him, yes, but he hasn't really realized that. The thing is, at the end of the day, Manjari's influence on Abhi's actions is nominal. I don't really blame Manjari for a single decision of Abhi's cause it's his decision. He is not doing anything just to please her.

1. I vehemently disagree. You cannot generalise mental health issues like that. I am not angry all the time with everyone. And i don't get angry with random people either. I get angry and irritable when I go through a depressive phase.
2. She is a human being with her own mind not a keyed up doll. She does things based on her idea of right and I agree she is a bit idealistic. He gets angry at her when she doesn't behave the way he wishes. Akshu is altruistic at her core (and does stupid shit at times) which is one of the major reasons he got attracted to her. When that trait becomes inconvenient to him, he loses it. Even his affections are scary to me which is why he is the biggest red flag. He has no qualms hurting her when she doesn't "belong" to him. He has been problematic since Tilak 1.0. There were so many instance during his functions with Aarohi he behaved like a psycho obsessive person.
3. Why is he not angry with Neil and Manjari. They screwed up plenty. If going by your logic, yes, I agree he doesn't have anger issues. He is just a toxic person/husband towards his wife because he considers her as possession. That just makes him worse.
4. The problem is he never got better and never really tried. He said sorry and continue to do the same. He gaslighted Akshara n number of times. That's another toxic trait. And he is constantly playing the victim even when is not.
5. Definitely disagree. Since his functions with Aarohi, he has been shown as an unhinged psycho. I think I have already wrote this. Anyway
6. The line where you say she instigates him but he doesn't realise it. That's one definition of momma's boy. There isn't a singular definition of momma's boy. Anyone who is blind in their mother's love and cannot see her manipulation and based on it, hurts and takes actions against other people are momma's boy, atleast according to me.
So, from what I gather from your post is that Abhimanyu doesn't have anger issues. He is just a toxic human being
