Well, the transcript for 3x15 describes the first flashback as, "Young Abby is sitting on her bed, crying. Her father slowly walks into the room and turns to close the door. She looks terrified."
However, in the actual episode, you don't know that it's her father, and she doesn't look terrified, IMO, just upset. And since it comes right after Dean brings up her parents' death, my immediate thought was that it was a scene of a lawyer or guardian coming to talk to her about their deaths. Unless Abby was bruised, and I didn't notice it in the lighting, there's no textual evidence of abuse. Her next line to Dean is also, "They were lovely people. And I killed them. And I got rich. I can't be bothered to give a damn. Just like I don't care what happens to you," so I think in this episode you're supposed to think she is a cold-blooded killer who just wanted to get rich.
The possibility of abuse did occur to me after watching, but that was because of Bela's strange reaction to the discussion of her family's death in "Red Sky At Morning," not because of anything specific to 3x15.
