Would you consider that an act of abuse?

No.

Wouldn't letting me attack my sister be an act of abuse towards her?

Yes. It is also a very common form of abuse.

I was hit exactly once by each parent as I grew up.

Does that include spanking? Note that it is usually applied to toddlers and you might not remember.

I'm pretty sure I was never actually spanked by my parents, although my grandfather tried once before I escaped.
