No abuse from a parent happens on screen, but it is mentioned that a father tried to set his child on fire.

It’s also hinted at that Robin miscarried a pregnancy back when they lived in Chicago, and one might be able to assume that the miscarriage was due to substance abuse.

About halfway in, Robyn takes drugs that appear to have been hidden from Simon, and later in the next scene when she walks out into the kitchen he confronts her about it, and we can assume she had an issue with the drugs before they moved.

Robyn uses drugs (some kind of medication) that have been hidden from Simon about 50 minutes in. It appears she had a drug related issue before they moved.

MAJOR SPOILERS

At about 1 hour 30 minutes in, we see a tape that Gordo sent to Simon, and its a video of him in the house after Robyn fainted, walking over to her and sitting down on top of her. Its VERY easy to assume that he raped her while she was unconscious, and later, on the phone with Simon at about 7 minutes left of the movie, he says "I didn't touch her. Or maybe I did"

[SPOILER]

Simon convinced a friend of his when they were in high school to start a rumor that a classmate was molested and rumor led to this classmate being severely bullied and accused of being gay. “Jokes” are not made about sexual assault on men, but someone is terrorized because they were potentially assaulted
