Moderate: Alcohol

-There's a scene where the main protag considers and almost does brutally blind her children, Main protag mentions continually hitting or refusing to feed her kids until they did a skill correctly, Main protag at the beginning of the book threatens to harm her children if they disobey- however this could be taken as a literal warning of what could happen due to the nature of the monsters in the book
