I concur with the wife slapping the mentally ill husband. That would constitute as domestic violence 100%

Lots of jumpscares in the main character's bad dreams. Sudden unexpected dog attack. Somebody busts out a window and grabs the little girl. Somebody is suddenly standing in the window.

It's the scene just after he hallucinates thunder for the first time, while at work. He rushes away from his coworker in a panic, and then you see him vomit into the back of his pickup truck. You see stuff come out of his mouth.

Later, there's a scene where his wife wakes up to him convulsing in bed, and he's hunched over and spitting up blood. That may be triggering also.

Absolutely, but it's a short scene. They take the little girl into the hospital for a CT scan (or MRI) required for a future surgery.

It happens near the beginning of the movie when he's sitting in a car at night, drinking a final beer with his buddy after a night out. You can skip the scene without it affecting your understanding the movie.

While the characters are generally well-meaning, it's probably worth mentioning that this movie deals with mental and physical disabilities in ways that might be challenging for some. We see disabled or suffering people struggling within an ableist system. The little girl Hannah is deaf; her family is saving up for expensive cochlear implants. Curtis's mother became ill with schizophrenia decades ago; her elder son still clearly hasn't forgiven her for her behavior during that time. Curtis wets the bed in his sleep and is deeply ashamed of himself for it. Curtis's visions are portrayed as being potentially "real" or potentially schizophrenia, but the movie isn't interested in portraying schizophrenia accurately to real life.
