No, you are not doing what your parents did to you.  Your parents abused you.  You are not abusing your kids.  You are disciplining them.  The whole point of discipline is to teach (Don't touch the hot stove, Johnny) or to correct behavior (Stealing is not right, Johnny.)  You are using a correct form of discipline - the naughty corner - versus an inappropriate one - beating your child.  

We all go through periods where we get super frustrated by our kids.  My 8 year old would try the patience of a saint on some days, and believe me I am no saint :)  I've been known to yell at him on occasion.  It happens.  As long as it's not happening on a daily basis, I think you're okay.

One thing I think that is very powerful is to apologize to your child when you have treated them badly.  I got very frustrated at something the other day and my son was there and contributed to the frustration.  I yelled at him a little.  Later I apologized to him because I knew I had treated him badly.  I think that goes a long way with kids.

It may help you to get some therapy, since it seems like you have a lot that you're dealing with.  And with your background, I can see how raising children could be triggering some things.

Just by showing that you're worried about becoming your parents, my guess is that you won't.
