The characters were all cookie cutter versions of each other.... I had to keep going back to the beginning of chapters to figure out who was narrating because the only difference was the kids and the type of abuse or manipulation their husband was dishing out.
It's a very sad story without a long list of triggers so I'd look into those before reading.

Moderate: Domestic abuse and Homophobia
