St. Monica, St. Rita, and St. Germaine Cousin. They were all abused during their lifetimes, and are patrons of abuse victims. St. Barbara was also abused and killed by her own father for her Christian faith. And there's young Blessed Laura Vicuna, who was beaten to death by her mother's boyfriend. All are examples of people who endured terrible abuse.

St. Germaine cousin? I remember her from childhood, though I don't think she's popular in the states.
