Why are people criticized for not having children and not wanting them?

I'll try to make this post as short as possible but if not bear with me, but I think they are doing society a big favor for not bringing another screwed-up person in this world due to their abuse and disrespect of the child. I was born to parents who grew up in the 60s and 70s in other words the "children are to be seen and not heard" generation. Their parents were possibly physically and verbally abusive and they think this is how parents should be with their kids, and children should respect the parents even if they are out of line. My father has been verbally and mentally abusive since I was a kid, I'm an adult now but he still abuses me to this day. The thing is, I've just officially realized this less than a year ago! The main reason behind the abuse is the fact he doesn't agree with my career choices or who I am as a person. I have an introverted/loner type personality and not very ambitious and content with where I work. He doesn't care about my happiness and all he cares about is money to make himself look good in front of other people. My mother is no better because she allows this to happen and when I try to tell her how it makes me feel all she says is "he is your father" as if that gives him the right to treat my like that. And my feelings do not matter. Because of this, I never want to have children. I don't want to continue the cycle and take my unresolved anger and frustrations out on the child. People have children for the wrong reasons, they are either accidents or just there so the parents can have someone to bully and dominate over.
