Not in the abusive sense a la (Mommy Dearest) Crawford. But, one must realize that Judy Garland had some addictive habits which could not help but have a deleterious impact on her children. Having to monitor your mother (as a child, mind you) for signs of a possible Alcoholic seizure or Drug overdose is hardly a normal childhood activity, but Lorna Luft mentions this hazardous duty in her autobiography. Having an alcoholic parent is itself a form of abuse, even if it does not contribute to neglect or (slap-happy) violence.
