Not necessarily abuse, but a baby is repeatedly held by the back of his clothes and the mother of the child threatens to use him as a shield when the protagonist mentions something about attacking her. Another character also threatens to toss him off of a balcony. He remains unharmed though.

There clearly is emotional (not to mention physical) abuse in the show, but various villains have a habit of being more direct and blunt about their feelings of hatred. They do not lie about their intentions in the way gaslighting does. At the very least, they are honest about being villains.

The parasites are able to know where all other nearby parasites are, and sometimes seek them out. A human girl also has a similar ability and develops a crush on the protagonist. She keeps trying to follow him and seek him out using this ability.

As a result of grief over losing his wife, the protagonist's father starts drinking heavily. This seems to get resolved later on, as no consequences for this drinking take place.

A character in the first episode is assaulted when the main character gropes her breast. I believe it’s implied it wasn’t meant to happen, that it was a parasyte controlling his hand. Nonetheless, it was unconsensual & qualifies as assault.

The main character has a parasite living in his right hand for most of the show. Consequently, when the parasite is in charge, the hand and fingers are able to take unnatural shapes.

Repetitive amputation, as parasytes decapitate their hosts to take over their bodies. Limbs are also chopped off during various fights with other parasytes throughout the show.

There's a non-graphic scene between two adult figures standing naked together, meant to be symbolic of their attempts to create a child-- the second instance is (SPOILER) a sex scene between two main characters- it is however, tasteful and not too graphic [both are 18 at that point in time]

(Spoilers) Not a sad ending, but not much of a happy ending either. In the manga, the parasyte in the main character’s hand eventually becomes good, and when everything is resolved, disappears into his body. It reappears after a long period of time, to save him from being killed, and it is the last time it reappears. The parasyte said that it is processing a lot of inward research to understand much of the universe, in solitude, and talking or fighting will just take much of the time away from this process. So it said goodbye a final time, feeling for the first time, some hint of warm emotions.
