Talk:Weiss' Father/@comment-1511631-20160502184500/@comment-25936766-20160527234636

"she can continue to ignore their father and learn more about the world and herself."

This part makes me think...that part of Papa Schnee's "abuse" was not abuse, but radical overprotectiveness caused by the multiple attacks the SDC and his family received from the WF.

Weiss most likely felt opressed, constantly under watch, hardly capable of doing anything on her own accord....but her father was not doing so out of being an opressive asshole, but out of an attempt at keeping her under as much protection as he could.

Perhaps he objected so heavily to the idea of her going to Beacon because that meant he could not keep watch over her, and that if something happened to her he would be powerless to do a thing. Plus being a Huntress is pretty much a suicidal carreer. The financial abuse may well be an attempt on his part to try to convince her to return.
