Except:

1) You cannot say a parent is physically abusive to his children just because of 1 incident with a pretty-specific "cause" behind it (in this case, Jacques's awfully-specific trigger button being pressed while he was already stressed). That's just some severe jump to conclusions.

2) You are assuming that there were previous incidents of physical abuse, but nothing whatsoever says there were. Sure, Weiss said that it "made for a very difficult childhood", but come on, does that imply or even require Jacques to be physically abusive? Are you telling me that there's no way Weiss's childhood could've been "very difficult" without Jacques actively hitting her?

We've never seen him hit Winter, or Whitley. Weiss never implies that he did, instead of just being abusive in other ways. And leaving out the slap, the closest thing there is to physical abuse is when he grabbed forcefully her wrist after she yelled at the guests out of nowhere, which is more disciplinary than outright abusive. So yeah, there's little reason to assume Jacques is physically abusive on top of everything else he could be.
