It's commonly stated that parents will try their best not to make the mistakes of their parents, and make them all the same.
Maybe that's true, but I think it's mostly a confusion of different levels of analysis.

There are many emotionally trying sotuations that are pretty much unique to parenting.
Because they are nearly unique, you are only likely to have learned coping mechanisms for them from... your parents.

Then there are the discreet failures of individual parenting decisions: punishment & reward, violence, whatever.
Most parents who are not TOO traumatized learn to avoid the ones their parents exhibited.

What is more difficult to see or avoid is the underlying emotional circuitry.
You undo one knot, but there's still the whole tangle.

So I welcome having learnes that I don't process anger well. That I shut down, avoid, or explode.
I welcome knowing that I hide discomfort and fear with sarcasm.
Most of all, I welcome the chance to improve and not spread any harm I can help spreading.

Oh, and also it's nice to be able to feel deep, deep anger and act on it when people act wrongfully.
