Well, technically we know he was kind of an alcoholic, something that normally induces people to violence, so maybe that's the point people are using to say he was abusive, but you are right, Melissa would probably not speak to him if that was the case.

On my personal opinion about this, i will first list the facts we know about this "secret":

It will porbably cause Scott to be angry at Melissa

Nor Melissa or Raphael want the secret to become public or at least they want to be the ones that want to tell it.

It refers to an event serious enought for Melissa calling the Sheriff when it happened

From  what we saw in "Silverfinger" it is probably more related to Scott than to his parents.

Based on this i only have 3 theories, one is that Scott is probably adopted or something similar, or that he is just son of Raphael and not of Melissa, meaning we dont know who is his real mother (Maybe Talia Hale based on how peter said Derek was very similar to Scott when he was younger) .That Melissa didnt tell him something as important as this may be teh reason he would become mad at her.

The other ones, and this is mostly based that is Rapahel the one that has like this urgency of telling the secret to Scott, and is that or  he wants to apologize for something he did to Scott when he was young ( i now nothing indicates domestical violence or something similar but is a posibilitie) or that Scott is the heir of something very important for the McCall family, a treasure,artifact or magic secret who knows.

I like this last theory the most because throught this season i have seen many indications the next folkore they will explore in a deeper level is the Celtic or Irish. First we have the introduction of the Druids and the Banshee, supernatural beings of this culture. Second, we saw with the Yukimura family the importance of family and of a  surname(specially in Galvanize). McCall is a Gaelic surname, probably meaning it´s Irish. For last, great part of the werewolf mythology around the world is related to Gaelic folklore, so this could related to scott being able to become a true alpha. Maybe the secret is tht Scott is a decendant of an ancient werewolf family,like the Hales, and Melissa got divorced with Rapahel(who for some reason has not the werewolf gene) becuase she believed he was crazy and a dangerous influence for scott, and Scott will be mad at her because she didnt told him even after discovering that all the supernatural was real and tried to separate him for this heritage (maybe for protecting him).

So this anre my theories and sorry for the very long Post
