I'll go through it with you.

First of all, the call with 56s is fine because the raiser and i are both deep stacked, so there are huge implied odds.

i flop two pair, so i assume i'm good. He bets hard at the flop, so i assume he has hit something, or he has an overpair. either way, i'm winning. I know that if i call he'll probably bet the turn hard also, so i decided to slowplay. I also don't want to make the pot too large because i only have bottom two pair.

The turn comes an A. He bets really hard, again. The ace was a terrible card because now AQ and AA are beating me, and other hands like KQ or KK won't be as good anymore. Since he bet hard, i'm pretty sure he still likes his hand, and there's really nothing i'm beating. I immediately thought he had either QQ or AQ.

It was kind of tough. It was easier, however, because i was deepstacked. He was obviously going to bet hard on the river, and i didn't want to commit almost my entire stack on a measly bottom two pair.

River was a blocking bet, i thought if he raised he had me. I was really close to folding, But i had 5:1, and i felt like i had to call.

I also think the flop play with 56? and flopped tow pair is bad becuase you need to isolate here, and play it fast. I think you can safely fold the turn considering the guy just potted it into you, but it seems obvious hes going to overplay his top pair or two pairs into your sets which = $$$$
