Logically, yes, she should blame it on her father. However, people in these situations, people rarely act rationally. It is much easier to pin the blame on a group of faceless, inhuman, terrorist monsters than on her beloved father. Put yourself in her place, and remember to think like a little girl. It's not hard to see why she would convince herself that it's not really daddy's fault that he hurts her - it's the bad men who make him angry. As she aged, she outgrew this childish mindset, but the deepseated prejudice that it inspired remained with her.

On another note, I don't think he directly abused her - or at least, I don't think that's all he did. I think he trained her. Consider her attitude on the battlefield: despite her obviously remarkable prowess, she is still paralyzed by fear of making even the slightest mistake. Whence comes this strange and out-of-place insecurity? The answer should be obvious: because when she was younger, someone taught her that no matter how good she was, she would never be good enough. It's a common enough trope, and Weiss shows all the hallmark personality traits of someone who has been pushed dangerously hard toward perfection from an unreasonably young age.
