The protagonist says that she never met her dad. There are multiple scenes where a child is abandoned but if you watch the film you will hopefully see it justified even if it may be triggering.

There are implications and discussions of potential domestic violence throughout. There is a scene where a social worker visits parents and a child, where it may appear that the father is causing fear to the household.

A young girl is physically forced into an oven by her parents in an attempt to kill her, she screams, bangs on the door and tries to get out. Someone arrives to stop this attempt and gets her out.
Later, the mother hallucinates that she is on fire / in the oven, but she is actually in a secure room.

hornets come out of someone’s eyes - definitely gives enough warning. also, someone falls on a fork in their hand and stabs themselves in the eye and bleeds out. it’s pretty obvious when it’s going to happen and it isn’t very gruesome as it doesn’t show the eye stabbed

A young boy kills both his parents; it is implied that he was manipulated to do this and he is very upset by it.
The main antagonist’s father dies in a fight which she causes through her supernatural powers; it is implied that she intended to torture and eventually kill her parents.

A woman is strapped to a bed in a secure room while hallucinating that she is on fire. Another scene shows her interacting with a staff member then hallucinating when the staff member leaves the room.
A man is spoken to while he is calm but restrained in a straightjacket. Later on he is shown eating a meal with other patients, before hallucinating and attacking one.

There are multiple phobias discussed in the film that date back to specific events in one's childhood. You could argue that some of these characters have PTSD but neither things are discussed in a clinical sense nor is the condition discussed.

It's very little of the movie and not (intentionally) directed at people.
