Some people will think you’ve been hurt or traumatized
Some people will assume you don’t want to have kids because your parents were abusive. This assumption is painful if it’s true, and painful if it isn’t. If it is true, you don’t appreciate other people reminding you how deeply this experience could have affected your adult life. You deal with that on your own already. If it isn’t true, you don’t appreciate the suggestion that your parents—who did not abuse you—abused you.
