I agree with MiniDaggers. I think Papa Schnee is emotionally abusive, not physically abusive. He tries to control Weiss and manipulate her into the heiress he wants her to be.

Depending on how canon the manga is, the reason Weiss had to fight the Giant Armor in the White Trailer is because that was a test that he thought she would fail. The conditions were that if she defeated the Armor, she would be allowed to attend Beacon Academy. If she couldn't defeat it, she would have to stay home and attend Atlas Academy instead.

Winter actually mentioned, in Lessons Learned, that if Weiss called her father, she would have to explain to him again why she would rather attend Beacon instead of Atlas.
