If you're talking about the noun 'abuse' with a hard 's' then there isn't one.
Present, "this is an abuse of my good nature!"
Past, "that was an abuse of my good nature!"
The verb, with the soft 's' (sounding more like a 'z',) has the past tense 'abused'.
Present, "don't abuse that computer, it'll break!"
Past, "you shouldn't have abused that computer, you've broken it!"

It is 'abuse' in past OR present in dictionary terms. Thankfully for many, it is far better to be 'past' than 'present'. That said - it isn't easy to ERASE, and sadly for many victims it remains physically/emotionally - or both.
Wouldn't it be somewhat easier if we could travel through life by means of DEFINITIONS!
