Yes, you can be a "good enough" mother with your background. That's the things about kids; they help you define a whole new "good enough." My son jokes with me that I'm supposed to have all the answers and I tell him no way, I'm not perfect, don't want to be, and he won't be either. We all just try to be the best we can be, with help in my case.
I, too, cannot express angry appropriately because of all the violence in my childhood. This doesn't mean I let my kids off easy, though; they don't get the yelling, they get the "talk," which they find much more intimidating.\
good luck witti,
