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.
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
Not crying specifically, but a man berates another man for being emotionally and psychologically affected by the abuse and bullying he experienced as a child
Robin mentions that she was pregnant once, but she doesn’t explain what happens to the pregnancy. Given the way she talks about it, it seems safe to assume that she miscarried.
It is discussed that a child was molested in the past and was burned by their parent. This abuse is never shown on screen. There are no photos or flashbacks.
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.
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.
Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler
About an hour in, Robyn talks to Simons sister (who went to high school with Simon and Gordon) and explains that Gordon was being molested during those years. Nothing is shown.
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"
Robin mentions at one point that she was pregnant once but she doesn’t mention how the pregnancy ended. One can assume that she miscarried, but this happened before the movie takes place.
!! Slight spoilers !!
No mental institution scene, but there is one scene 1 hour and three minutes in where Simons sister, while talking to Robyn, mentions that Gordo was 'sent away' in high school.
In the first thirty or so minutes this is shown more, but Robyn talks about how she was pregnant a year or so before, and implies that she lost the baby
While there is no onscreen nudity, one of the final scenes of the movie shows Gordo sitting on top of a drugged and unconscious Robyn. Simon is sent a video of this, and he and the audience are left to wonder whether or not he r*ped Robyn.
