While we can't be certain that this happened I consider the disfunctional sibling relationship to be circumsumstancal evidence pointing in that direction. Well, remember that Jacques did tell Weiss that "siding with [Winter]" would only divide them. This is certainly an abusive tactic as trying to discourage a relationship with the sibling that has successfully broken off from his influence undercuts his ability to control them. Whitley having "never liked" Winter may well be due to Jacques putting similar thoughts in his head. Something else to consider about Whitley is that for a while there he was the only child in the Schnee household. In other words, there was a period where all of the behaviors Jacques exhibited would have been focused most strongly on him and he is probably the only child to have experienced that. Given the difficulties between Jacques and Weiss, there is no telling what he might have put in Whitley's head about both his sisters.
