First off, please excuse my spelling: We become our parents in the since that we all have love enough to reproduce and show love to the next generation. Now, becoming our parents in the since that we act like them is absurd. We are raised in the manner they see best fit, but if we become them, it is because we respect what we were taught and we want to take their model as our own. But, then again, this is up to the person. So, it is all to the person how you turn out.
Learn from the mistakes your parents made, they in turn will serve a better purpose for both you and your children, some day, no matter who you're with.
I think you're parents are veryimportant in instilling you with values and certain world views However, it doesn't mean you're predestine to fall the same fate as your parents. Infact, you know what you don't want to happen so you can avoid it better. Just evaluate yourself and your situation carefully and you will be wiser for all the mistakes of yoour parents.
