OBJECTION!!! (Slams desk)

He only slapped Weiss when she decided to go out of her way to deliberately push his berserk button, hit his biggest sensitivity, for no reason other than him not letting her leave the house like she wants after she almost commited manslaughter in front of an audience.

Even after all Weiss did, Jacques was extremely patient with her. Weiss literally had to trigger him just for him to lash out, and even then it was a single slap, it wasn't as if he pulled out his belt and whipped her with it.

Therefore, while Jacques is a controlling ass, he cannot be said to be physically abusive. Physical abuse implies that it happens frequently, and everything we've seen so far indicates that even if Jacques had hit his children like that before, he has enough self-control to not make it routine.
