Talk:Jacques Schnee/@comment-124.197.38.215-20180426021846/@comment-4010415-20180905042029

@SYUTK I wasn't saying that Jacques has been a physically abusive father throughout his children's lives. What I was trying to say is that we do know that Jacques seems to physically lash out when his anger gets too high, not just from the slap but also with him breaking something while arguing with Ironwood. What Weiss said in Volume 1 could have been referring to this lashing out that he does, especially considering that both children and teens can be heavily affected when their parent's anger takes on physical form, even if their parent is lashing out on inanimate objects. It's scary as hell.

Could there have been occasional times where this lashing out took form in a slap or manhandling? Yes, though we don't have proof of that. What we do know is that his anger can cause him to take it out physically on something.

We also know that Weiss may to have been affected by his behavior, considering she has been shown flinching in response to someone raising their voice in anger twice now. This is classic behavior from an abuse victim, and the abuse they faced doesn't necessarily have to have been physical.
