That would depend on what you define as child abuse.

Normally we understand by that physical abuse to include or not sexual abuse - but neglecting can also be counted in that, as can overharsh discipline or exagerated expectations.

To me it seems that Weiss grew up in a secluded world full of expectations and rules, but not with a lot of display of affection and parental love. That is not to say her parents (though we know nothing of her mother) don't love her, just that they didn't succeed in showing it.
