There are two prominent mandatory playable scenes where a mother/stepmother screams at her daughter/stepdaughter. In the latter of these, the mother/stepmother also fights with the girl's father. She is instructed to "go play on the computer and put headphones on".

The protagonists’ father left them in the past, but there is one cutscene that details the moment of their father leaving them. One of the soundtracks also contains audio of a phone call of said father leaving the protagonist.

Yes, the reason is the same as the “does a child get abused” comment. No physical abuse is ever shown, but there is emotional abuse.

There are two segments where the secondary protagonist, a child, is verbally and emotionally berated by her mother, and bossed around to serve her family. There is no physical abuse, but the scenes and gameplay heavily indicate emotional abuse and neglect, so I have marked it as yes.

ululation
The game tries to comment on how women's suffering is fetishized by reporters and the public, so it's definitely a theme, but the major instance of this (where a woman is abducted) is not especially graphic.

Someone technically driven to suicide by another character forgives them in an alternate ending if you make the choices that lead to that death, but it's easy to avoid.

The overworld map depicts a sea surrounding most of the map.
There is a reservoir area in the game. You can technically never come across it, but there is a side quest to be done there.
A major town in the game is also right next to the sea.
Edit: The IV update introduces a pond that is a central plot point to the story.

Opposite actually. Not very expanded on, but alot of the story focuses on the systems inability or desinterest to find missing people of color. Cops are also some of the enemies and seem to especially target the black party members.

A character's sister has committed suicide. That same character can be driven to take his own life depending on the player's actions, but this outcome is easily avoidable by not being cruel to him. It can also be disabled at the beginning of the game.

It's revealed that one of the party members had a loved one who killed herself. As a result he begins having suicidal thoughts. Depending on your actions, there's a chance he'll go through with it.

Not explicitly, but in NG+ there is a bit of dialogue where a father disparages his son for not speaking, and when his wife responds that he can speak, the father sarcastically clarifies that the son can only speak in movie quotes.

Replying to the other comment, the suicide is designed to potentially happen to players by accident if they mistreat one of their party members in dialogue choices, players don’t necessarily have to “go out of their way” to find it. That said, it is true that the suicide note requires the player to seek it out intentionally.
