I think Weiss was more emotionally abused. Maybe her family wasn't around enough, and if she did something wrong, then they'd physically abuse her. It also explains why she acts fairly defensive, like she has nothing to hide. Plus, the fact that she grew up in the Schnee Dust Company means possible long days when you're tired and you have nothing to do, hence why she took fencing lessons, to ease the boredom and realeve stress. Plus with the White Fang and wild Faunus activity, it was stressful. Any member of her family could have used her as THEIR stress reliever, whether it be yelling and/or hitting. She proably didn't have many friend either, resulting in a distrust of people and feeling as she needs to be perfect to get her family to approve.

This is just my wild theory.
