And yes, Wendy, Stockholm Syndrome is the correct term (Here in America, anyway). To be honest on the subject of Weiss's mother, I think that she's dead. It is an interesting idea, though, that she may still be alive and abusive. Although, I feel like Weiss would've mentioned her by now.

RWBY has no doubt helped improve Weiss's character. Again, I feel like she has her reasons (which you stated) for being abrasive, and like most things, she'll get better with time.
