She isn’t slapped per se, but she is repeatedly shaken and yelled at. It is soon after Annabelle is asked to stay in the closet

(SPOILERS)
The main character was repeatedly raped by his stepdad as a child. It is not shown, but talked about a lot. There is also a scene where a teacher/social worker is very inappropriate and creepy with the child, definitely trying to groom him, but is interrupted before it can go any further. Still disturbing though.

The rape is not on screen but it is a very crucial part of the story and therefore mentioned a lot. (Mostly in the last few episodes.)

Not technically, there no demonic possession.
****MAJOR SPOILER****
The main character suffers from multiple personalities. So while not technically possessed, there’s different alters that take over for Danny.

Although this is loosely based on a real person, I think it's important to note that Billy Mulligan's story has been used for the inspiration of many horror movies and harmful tropes in media associated with D.I.D. and this is once again another re-hash that just simply increases fear around D.I.D. We don't hear the millions of stories of other folk with D.I.D, just ones based off of the same harmful person / system. And by continuing to focus on retelling his story, it misrepresents the D.I.D. community as a whole, because people assume this is a common narrative for all D.I.D systems (as that's all they're have exposure to), not just one system's story being used over and over for inspiration.

Incestuous rape is talked about across several episodes and scenes of the moments leading up to it are shown (not graphic)
The rapist isn’t a blood relation to the victim, but married into their immediate family
