text: My parents are not the pillars of my life.\nMy parents attitudes and selfishness nearly destroyed me.\nI am my own pillar of my own life.\nI have had to learn things alone, the hard way.\nThe only thing i have to thank my parents for being who they are so i could become who i am now.\n\nWhen i have children i will be the pillar in their lives.\nPeople learn many things from their parents, good and bad!
