The (53)D kept coming up over the next few weeks.As I again heard myself blaming my father for this or that,I asked myself,"How long can you (54)A blaming others for YOUR life?"
Gradually,my thinking(55)B.It took over a year (56)C people began to notice that I was taking responsibility for my own actions and feelings.
