I can see Adam being that level of abusive. Maybe he kept her from contacting her family (assuming she didn't think they were dead), telling her they are traitors to not only the White Fang but Faunus in general, and then guilt trip her into thinking the same and claiming "he cares about her and doesn't want her to get into trouble" or something.
