As I said, the first time Winter slapped Weiss, it could be brushed off, the second one not.

Specially because both slaps followed the same pattern:

Weiss does not respond as desired -> Slap -> Caring and nurturing attitude -> No kind of apologise

That's abusive behaviour.

And Winter presenting it should make the fact at least one of the parental figures in their family is violent unsurprising.
