not directly, but when 17-year-old alice is posessed, she sings to her dad that it's his fault she got posessed because he "left her". he didn't actually leave her, she ran off to go be with her girlfriend because they had an argument. it's clear that the posessed alice is just trying to make her father feel bad

Sort of? A character has a very emotionally estranged relationship with her husband, and while I’m not quite sure I should call it abuse, she does repeatedly try and forgive him.

A character is emotionally abused/neglected by her husband, but not physically abused. Said husband does try to shoot her, but only because he is possessed.

A character accidentally spits blood into another character's face. There are also discussions of spitting into other people's food, and sometimes the actors get a little carried away with their lines + visibly spit during delivery.

A musical number where a band of possessed cops attempt to apprehend the protagonists. They spout contradictory demands and resort to violence when said demands are not met, though it's all rather goofy in tone. Later, Paul is knocked out and taken into custody by the military.

1:11:46- A character attempts suicide, but is stopped almost immediately.
Another character's death can be considered a suicide, as he plans his own murder. This is drawn out for a while, and is hard to give an exact time stamp.
