Very bad, woman beat up horribly by her husband repeatedly. She's afraid to leave him because she's sure he'd kill her. Her situation is a big part of the plot.

A woman says she's an alcoholic and has been in rehab. We don't see her drinking or struggling with her addiction.

SPOILER: A male character's head is bashed with an aluminum baseball bat, no doubt crushing the skull. This character dies as a result. The hit to the head is seen and then the bat is seen to be hitting him again, but you don't see where, but there's lots of blood spatter. Could be considered graphic to some.

Not actually a kid, but... A young man who lives with his parents dies of leukemia. He's fully grown, but we see him very much as a son, so to speak, in that he can't take care of himself fully, and we see his mother taking care of him lovingly.

Yes, at least in the form of kissing. But the husband cheated on is a super bad guy who beats his wife up again and again, so it's kinda hard to empathise with him.

NO, you don't hear any thud because of the background music. However, you do see the bat hitting the person's head and the music plays a loud note to emphasize the moment the head is struck.

No sex scenes, but a female character mentions that she was forced to engage in sex with company executives or face getting demoted and/or getting a reduction in her wages.
Another female character mentions in a conversation that her husband is currently "obsessed with sex", but it's not a graphic conversation.

I'd say the ending is bitter sweet.
