Incredibly toxic family, and there's quite a bit of emotional violence from the brother towards the main character. There's extreme gaslighting from a large number of the people in the book towards the main character/author.

"abusive" may be a strong word, but the parents are very dysfunctional and make many decisions that are often cause injury and are generally detrimental to the children

The author's brother was heavily abusive to her, and specific episodes and techniques are described in detail throughout. The author's parents' defense of the brother is the reason why she does not communicate with most of her family.

The author's brother's abuse of her toes the line of sexual assault, in my view. He calls her names like wench and whore and slut. One instance of abuse involves him holding her arms over her head so that her shirt revealed more of her body. Another involved him tearing clothes off of her in a public space.

I would argue that the injuries the main character endures are described in gory detail. I ended up skipping over large passages because the descriptions were too detailed for me.
