It was when Starbuck was torturing the Cylon in "Flesh and Bone".
When he was messing with her head he said, or at least intimated, that her mother had abused her.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

It not explicitly stated that she was abused physically, but Leoben has a long speech about how "You were born to a woman who believes that suffering was good for the soul, so you suffered," and so on. Near the start of the episode Starbuck makes a joke about how her mother always said she was empty-headed, which plays into it as well.

Ah. So it was her mother, not her father. Huh, interesting.

I know! So glad that Peter Coyote is back even if it's just because of the cancellation of that other show.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is Stephen King involved somehow?

Does Starbuck have poor hygiene or something? I've heard breasts refered to in many ways, but, Ashcroft aside, I've never really heard folks who liked them referring to them as "dirty" anything.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Isn't it from "Carrie"?
