Marcus's first prison letter arrived six weeks after sentencing.<\/p>\n
Not to me.<\/p>\n
To Dad.<\/p>\n
Dad brought it over unopened.<\/p>\n
He stood in my kitchen holding the envelope between two fingers like it contained something fragile.<\/p>\n
"Why haven't you read it?"<\/p>\n
He set it on the counter.<\/p>\n
"I don't know."<\/p>\n
Leo was at Jonathan's for the weekend, so the house was quiet.<\/p>\n
I poured coffee.<\/p>\n
Dad sat.<\/p>\n
"Do you want me here while you open it?"<\/p>\n
"I think so."<\/p>\n
That answer was enough.<\/p>\n
He ran his thumb under the flap.<\/p>\n
Marcus's handwriting filled four pages.<\/p>\n
Dad started reading silently.<\/p>\n
His face changed before he reached the bottom of the first page.<\/p>\n
"What?"<\/p>\n
He shook his head.<\/p>\n
"Nothing."<\/p>\n
I waited.<\/p>\n
After several minutes, he put the letter down.<\/p>\n
Marcus hadn't asked for money.<\/p>\n
Didn't ask Dad to call lawyers.<\/p>\n
Didn't complain about the sentence.<\/p>\n
He wrote about work assignments, the strange noise the heating system made at night, and how difficult it was to sleep when every sound belonged to someone else.<\/p>\n
Then he wrote about Dad.<\/p>\n
"I'm sorry I made you choose between loving me and telling the truth."<\/p>\n
Dad stopped there.<\/p>\n
His eyes filled.<\/p>\n
I said nothing.<\/p>\n
He read the sentence again.<\/p>\n
"I don't think that's what happened."<\/p>\n
"What do you mean?"<\/p>\n
"I chose the easy version long before he forced anything."<\/p>\n
Dad folded the paper.<\/p>\n
"I let Helen handle every difficult situation with him."<\/p>\n
"That's not the same as what Marcus did."<\/p>\n
"I know."<\/p>\n
He looked at me.<\/p>\n
"I finally know."<\/p>\n
Responsibility had edges.<\/p>\n
Dad had learned to say it without using it to excuse himself.<\/p>\n
Marcus's letter continued.<\/p>\n
He remembered being fifteen and wrecking Dad's truck.<\/p>\n
Not badly.<\/p>\n
A fence post.<\/p>\n
A dented bumper.<\/p>\n
Marcus had lied.<\/p>\n
Said someone hit it in a parking lot.<\/p>\n
Mom learned the truth and paid for the repair before Dad saw the damage.<\/p>\n
Dad stared at me.<\/p>\n
"I never knew."<\/p>\n
Of course.<\/p>\n
Marcus wrote that he remembered the relief more clearly than the guilt.<\/p>\n
Mom had solved it.<\/p>\n
No confrontation.<\/p>\n
No consequence.<\/p>\n
The lesson had arrived early.<\/p>\n
Then another memory.<\/p>\n
Seventeen.<\/p>\n
Caught cheating on a school exam.<\/p>\n
Mom persuaded a teacher not to report it formally.<\/p>\n
Nineteen.<\/p>\n
Grandma Margaret discovered stolen checks.<\/p>\n
Mom told Marcus Grandma was cruel.<\/p>\n
Dad rubbed his forehead.<\/p>\n
"How did I miss all of this?"<\/p>\n
"You were working."<\/p>\n
"That's what Helen always says."<\/p>\n
"Sometimes it's also true."<\/p>\n
He looked at me.<\/p>\n
I wasn't going to let honest context turn into absolution.<\/p>\n
But I wasn't going to erase it either.<\/p>\n
Dad had worked long shifts.<\/p>\n
Mom ran the household.<\/p>\n
He trusted her.<\/p>\n
Trust could be misused without being foolish in itself.<\/p>\n
Marcus wrote that prison gave him too much time to inventory moments.<\/p>\n
Not excuses.<\/p>\n
Moments.<\/p>\n
He wasn't sure which one changed him.<\/p>\n
Maybe none.<\/p>\n
Maybe the change was too gradual to locate.<\/p>\n
At the end of page three, one sentence stopped Dad again.<\/p>\n
I think Mom loved being needed more than she loved helping me become someone who didn't need her.<\/p>\n
Dad stared at the page.<\/p>\n
"That's harsh."<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
"Do you think it's true?"<\/p>\n
"I think that's Marcus's interpretation."<\/p>\n
Dad smiled faintly.<\/p>\n
"You sound like Priya."<\/p>\n
"Terrifying."<\/p>\n
He kept reading.<\/p>\n
Marcus immediately followed the harsh sentence with another.<\/p>\n
And I learned how to need her on purpose.<\/p>\n
Dad leaned back.<\/p>\n
There it was.<\/p>\n
Not one-sided.<\/p>\n
Marcus had learned that helplessness activated Mom's attention.<\/p>\n
Whether consciously at first or not, he had discovered the family economy.<\/p>\n
Crisis bought love.<\/p>\n
Need bought resources.<\/p>\n
Trouble bought protection.<\/p>\n
Competence bought invisibility.<\/p>\n
Dad folded the letter.<\/p>\n
"Do I write back?"<\/p>\n
"Do you want to?"<\/p>\n
"I don't know."<\/p>\n
"Then don't yet."<\/p>\n
He nodded.<\/p>\n
The old family would've treated an unanswered letter as punishment.<\/p>\n
Maybe even cruelty.<\/p>\n
Now Dad let timing belong to him.<\/p>\n
Two days later, Mom called me.<\/p>\n
"I heard Robert got a letter."<\/p>\n
My shoulders tightened automatically.<\/p>\n
"From Marcus."<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
"Did Dad tell you?"<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
"Then how do you know?"<\/p>\n
"Marcus wrote me too."<\/p>\n
That made sense.<\/p>\n
I relaxed slightly.<\/p>\n
"What did yours say?"<\/p>\n
Mom hesitated.<\/p>\n
"That's not why I called."<\/p>\n
Progress.<\/p>\n
She didn't assume family correspondence was communal property.<\/p>\n
"I wanted to ask whether Robert seemed okay."<\/p>\n
"He was emotional."<\/p>\n
"I figured."<\/p>\n
Another pause.<\/p>\n
"I won't ask what Marcus wrote."<\/p>\n
"Okay."<\/p>\n
Mom sighed.<\/p>\n
"That was very difficult."<\/p>\n
I laughed.<\/p>\n
"I know."<\/p>\n
"Therapy is ruining all my best habits."<\/p>\n
"Sounds expensive."<\/p>\n
She laughed too.<\/p>\n
Then her voice softened.<\/p>\n
"Marcus asked me not to visit yet."<\/p>\n
That surprised me.<\/p>\n
"Did he say why?"<\/p>\n
"He said he wants to get through the first few months without making me responsible for how he's doing."<\/p>\n
I stared out the window.<\/p>\n
That sounded more mature than anything I'd expected from him.<\/p>\n
Mom continued.<\/p>\n
"I hate it."<\/p>\n
"I bet."<\/p>\n
"I want to go."<\/p>\n
"Of course."<\/p>\n
"But I'm not going."<\/p>\n
"Good."<\/p>\n
Silence.<\/p>\n
Then she said, "I keep wanting to reward him for setting a boundary."<\/p>\n
I laughed.<\/p>\n
"What would rewarding him look like?"<\/p>\n
"Sending extra money to commissary."<\/p>\n
"Don't."<\/p>\n
"I know."<\/p>\n
She sounded almost annoyed.<\/p>\n
"I hate knowing."<\/p>\n
"That's also progress."<\/p>\n
She laughed again.<\/p>\n
Mom had already been allowed to deposit a limited amount for ordinary expenses under normal rules.<\/p>\n
The temptation was to turn any responsible behavior into a rescue opportunity.<\/p>\n
She knew it now.<\/p>\n
That didn't make resisting easier.<\/p>\n
Dad eventually replied to Marcus.<\/p>\n
One page.<\/p>\n
He showed me only because he wanted feedback before mailing it.<\/p>\n
Not permission.<\/p>\n
Feedback.<\/p>\n
The opening line:<\/p>\n
I love you, and I am learning that love doesn't require me to make this easier than it is.<\/p>\n
I read it twice.<\/p>\n
"Good."<\/p>\n
Dad nodded.<\/p>\n
"I wanted to write that I'm proud of him."<\/p>\n
"Are you?"<\/p>\n
"For the letter."<\/p>\n
"Then say that."<\/p>\n
"But what if he hears it as everything being forgiven?"<\/p>\n
"Be specific."<\/p>\n
Dad added:<\/p>\n
I'm proud that you are reflecting honestly. That doesn't erase what happened.<\/p>\n
Clear.<\/p>\n
Edges.<\/p>\n
He mailed it.<\/p>\n
Spring turned warmer.<\/p>\n
The legal cases thinned.<\/p>\n
Not finished.<\/p>\n
Thinned.<\/p>\n
The bank finalized the lien release.<\/p>\n
The brokerage transfer remained mine.<\/p>\n
Restitution payments arrived irregularly.<\/p>\n
Two hundred.<\/p>\n
Seven hundred.<\/p>\n
Nothing for a month.<\/p>\n
Then three hundred fifty.<\/p>\n
I stopped checking daily.<\/p>\n
That was harder than it sounds.<\/p>\n
The old part of me wanted every payment tracked immediately.<\/p>\n
Not because I needed the money.<\/p>\n
Because tracking felt like control.<\/p>\n
Priya finally told me, "You can let the system send statements."<\/p>\n
"I know."<\/p>\n
"Do you?"<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
She laughed.<\/p>\n
I turned off transaction alerts for restitution deposits.<\/p>\n
The money would still arrive.<\/p>\n
I didn't need my phone to announce Marcus's debt every time it did.<\/p>\n
That felt like taking him out of my pocket.<\/p>\n
Rachel adapted too.<\/p>\n
Her divorce filing moved forward.<\/p>\n
Not because the criminal sentence forced it.<\/p>\n
Because she wanted it.<\/p>\n
Marcus didn't contest some parts.<\/p>\n
Contested others.<\/p>\n
Property division.<\/p>\n
Parenting details.<\/p>\n
Debt allocations.<\/p>\n
Ordinary divorce complexity layered over extraordinary circumstances.<\/p>\n
One afternoon, Rachel called.<\/p>\n
"I'm keeping the house."<\/p>\n
"Good."<\/p>\n
"I have to refinance."<\/p>\n
"Can you?"<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
She sounded proud.<\/p>\n
Not performatively independent.<\/p>\n
Simply relieved that the numbers worked.<\/p>\n
Madison had started summer classes.<\/p>\n
Noah played baseball.<\/p>\n
The twins had discovered karate and apparently kicked each other constantly.<\/p>\n
Rachel sounded tired.<\/p>\n
Normal tired.<\/p>\n
I preferred it.<\/p>\n
Then she said, "Marcus wrote Madison."<\/p>\n
My stomach tightened.<\/p>\n
"How did she feel?"<\/p>\n
"She hasn't opened it."<\/p>\n
I waited.<\/p>\n
Rachel continued.<\/p>\n
"She asked me what she should do."<\/p>\n
"What did you say?"<\/p>\n
"Whatever you want."<\/p>\n
I smiled.<\/p>\n
"Perfect."<\/p>\n
"She hated that answer."<\/p>\n
"Of course."<\/p>\n
"What would you have said?"<\/p>\n
"The same."<\/p>\n
Rachel groaned.<\/p>\n
"You're no help."<\/p>\n
"That's the point."<\/p>\n
Madison eventually opened it three days later.<\/p>\n
She didn't tell Rachel everything.<\/p>\n
Another healthy boundary.<\/p>\n
She did tell her one line.<\/p>\n
I used your willingness to help me because I knew you wanted to be the responsible one.<\/p>\n
That hit me.<\/p>\n
Marcus had seen Madison clearly.<\/p>\n
Not enough to stop using her.<\/p>\n
But clearly.<\/p>\n
Sometimes people understand the very trait they're exploiting.<\/p>\n
Madison wrote back.<\/p>\n
One paragraph.<\/p>\n
Rachel showed me only the line Madison voluntarily shared.<\/p>\n
I love you. Don't ever use me to carry an adult secret again.<\/p>\n
Marcus replied:<\/p>\n
I won't.<\/p>\n
Whether he would keep that promise could only be proven over time.<\/p>\n
Not by one letter.<\/p>\n
Not by intention.<\/p>\n
Behavior.<\/p>\n
That became our family's least glamorous new religion.<\/p>\n
Behavior.<\/p>\n
Dad and Mom continued meeting occasionally.<\/p>\n
Coffee.<\/p>\n
A walk.<\/p>\n
One counseling session together.<\/p>\n
Dad still rented his apartment.<\/p>\n
Mom remained in the house.<\/p>\n
They weren't discussing reconciliation publicly.<\/p>\n
One evening Dad told me, "I miss her."<\/p>\n
I looked at him.<\/p>\n
"Okay."<\/p>\n
"That's it?"<\/p>\n
"What do you want me to do?"<\/p>\n
He laughed.<\/p>\n
"Nothing."<\/p>\n
"Then yes. That's it."<\/p>\n
He looked relieved.<\/p>\n
Missing Mom didn't require moving back.<\/p>\n
Loving her didn't erase the forged loan.<\/p>\n
Being angry didn't cancel thirty-three years of marriage.<\/p>\n
Dad had finally stopped forcing emotions to produce immediate decisions.<\/p>\n
Mom, surprisingly, had too.<\/p>\n
She never once asked me to convince him.<\/p>\n
That alone would've been unimaginable months earlier.<\/p>\n
Then the DNA results came.<\/p>\n
I'd almost forgotten.<\/p>\n
Dad and I had done the test after Marcus's note about Samuel Reed.<\/p>\n
The email arrived on a Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Dad came over before we opened it.<\/p>\n
"Ready?"<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
"Me neither."<\/p>\n
We opened it anyway.<\/p>\n
Probability of parentage exceeded 99.99%.<\/p>\n
Dad was my biological father.<\/p>\n
He stared at the screen.<\/p>\n
Then laughed.<\/p>\n
Not because it changed our relationship.<\/p>\n
Because months of tension collapsed into one ridiculously clinical number.<\/p>\n
"Ninety-nine point nine nine."<\/p>\n
"Very paternal."<\/p>\n
He hugged me.<\/p>\n
I hugged him back.<\/p>\n
Then he stepped away.<\/p>\n
"You know this changes nothing."<\/p>\n
"I know."<\/p>\n
"But I'm glad."<\/p>\n
"Me too."<\/p>\n
I sent Mom the result.<\/p>\n
Her reply came immediately.<\/p>\n
I told you.<\/p>\n
Then, thirty seconds later:<\/p>\n
Sorry. That sounded awful.<\/p>\n
I laughed.<\/p>\n
Another message.<\/p>\n
I'm glad you know.<\/p>\n
Better.<\/p>\n
We never contacted Samuel Reed.<\/p>\n
There was no reason.<\/p>\n
The rumor ended where facts did.<\/p>\n
Then Dad did something unexpected.<\/p>\n
He called Marcus's facility and arranged a visit.<\/p>\n
Not because Marcus asked.<\/p>\n
Because he wanted to.<\/p>\n
He told me afterward.<\/p>\n
We sat on my porch.<\/p>\n
"How was it?"<\/p>\n
"Strange."<\/p>\n
"Good strange?"<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
He thought.<\/p>\n
"Real strange."<\/p>\n
Marcus had lost weight.<\/p>\n
Worked in food service.<\/p>\n
Read constantly.<\/p>\n
Asked about everyone without demanding details.<\/p>\n
Dad told him Leo was doing well.<\/p>\n
Marcus asked whether Leo still liked steak.<\/p>\n
Dad laughed when he told me that.<\/p>\n
"What did you say?"<\/p>\n
"That he's moved on to tacos."<\/p>\n
I smiled.<\/p>\n
Dad said Marcus cried when they talked about Mom.<\/p>\n
"He asked if she's okay."<\/p>\n
"What did you say?"<\/p>\n
"That she'll have to answer that herself."<\/p>\n
I stared.<\/p>\n
"Look at you."<\/p>\n
"Growth."<\/p>\n
He smiled.<\/p>\n
Then became serious.<\/p>\n
"Marcus said something."<\/p>\n
I waited.<\/p>\n
"He asked whether I forgive him."<\/p>\n
"What did you say?"<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
I was surprised.<\/p>\n
Dad looked at me.<\/p>\n
"I said I don't know yet."<\/p>\n
That made sense.<\/p>\n
"He seemed hurt."<\/p>\n
"I'm sure."<\/p>\n
"I almost changed my answer."<\/p>\n
"But?"<\/p>\n
"I didn't."<\/p>\n
He looked toward the yard.<\/p>\n
"I realized I used to think love meant giving the answer that stopped somebody from hurting."<\/p>\n
My throat tightened.<\/p>\n
"That's what Mom did."<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
Dad continued.<\/p>\n
"Sometimes the honest answer hurts."<\/p>\n
We sat quietly.<\/p>\n
Then he asked me.<\/p>\n
"Do you forgive him?"<\/p>\n
I hated the question.<\/p>\n
Not because Dad shouldn't ask.<\/p>\n
Because I still had no clean answer.<\/p>\n
"I think I don't need to decide once."<\/p>\n
He looked curious.<\/p>\n
"I can forgive one thing and still be angry about another."<\/p>\n
"That sounds exhausting."<\/p>\n
"It is."<\/p>\n
I smiled.<\/p>\n
"I don't wake up hating him."<\/p>\n
"That's something."<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
"I don't trust him."<\/p>\n
"Also something."<\/p>\n
"I want him to become better."<\/p>\n
Dad nodded.<\/p>\n
"Me too."<\/p>\n
Maybe forgiveness wasn't a door.<\/p>\n
Maybe it was a house with rooms you entered separately.<\/p>\n
I didn't say that aloud.<\/p>\n
It sounded too polished for what still felt messy.<\/p>\n
A month later, restitution statements showed another payment.<\/p>\n
This one larger.<\/p>\n
Three thousand dollars.<\/p>\n
Sale of Marcus's remaining nonessential personal assets.<\/p>\n
The report listed a watch.<\/p>\n
Golf equipment.<\/p>\n
Brokerage balance.<\/p>\n
I stared at the watch line.<\/p>\n
Dad had given Marcus that watch for his thirtieth birthday.<\/p>\n
I called Dad.<\/p>\n
"Did you see the restitution statement?"<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
"The watch."<\/p>\n
"I saw."<\/p>\n
"You okay?"<\/p>\n
Dad was quiet.<\/p>\n
"I guess."<\/p>\n
"Do you want it back?"<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
"You sure?"<\/p>\n
"Yes."<\/p>\n
Then he said something that stayed with me.<\/p>\n
"A gift doesn't stop being his because I don't like what he did afterward."<\/p>\n
I smiled.<\/p>\n
Edges again.<\/p>\n
The watch had belonged to Marcus.<\/p>\n
He chose to sell it.<\/p>\n
Dad didn't get to reclaim it emotionally because it once carried affection.<\/p>\n
The past stayed real.<\/p>\n
Even when the future changed.<\/p>\n
That evening, Leo and I booked another weekend trip.<\/p>\n
No pool requirement this time.<\/p>\n
He had upgraded his demands.<\/p>\n
"Water park."<\/p>\n
"Absolutely not."<\/p>\n
"Why?"<\/p>\n
"Because I said so."<\/p>\n
He stared.<\/p>\n
I sighed.<\/p>\n
"Because water parks cost more, it's a short weekend, and I don't want to spend twelve hours wet."<\/p>\n
He considered.<\/p>\n
"Evidence accepted."<\/p>\n
I hated what we'd created.<\/p>\n
Loved it too.<\/p>\n
Then a letter arrived for me.<\/p>\n
Marcus.<\/p>\n
I left it on the counter until after dinner.<\/p>\n
No urgency.<\/p>\n
When I finally opened it, the first line made me smile despite myself.<\/p>\n
Leo's right. The hot dog should have had ketchup.<\/p>\n
I kept reading.<\/p>\n
Marcus wrote that he didn't expect correspondence.<\/p>\n
He wasn't trying to restart a sibling relationship through mail.<\/p>\n
He wanted to answer one thing he'd thought about since sentencing.<\/p>\n
Why Leo?<\/p>\n
Why that meal?<\/p>\n
He wrote:<\/p>\n
Because I knew you would complain for yourself before you would complain for him, and I thought you wouldn't want to make Dad's night difficult.<\/p>\n
I stopped.<\/p>\n
The sentence was ugly.<\/p>\n
Specific.<\/p>\n
True.<\/p>\n
Marcus had known my restraint.<\/p>\n
Known Leo's politeness.<\/p>\n
Known the family context.<\/p>\n
And chosen the easiest target.<\/p>\n
Then:<\/p>\n
I didn't think of that as manipulation at the time. I thought of it as knowing my family.<\/p>\n
I read the line again.<\/p>\n
That was the problem.<\/p>\n
Our dysfunctional rules had felt like intimacy.<\/p>\n
Knowing who would cave.<\/p>\n
Who would pay.<\/p>\n
Who would forgive.<\/p>\n
Who would stay quiet.<\/p>\n
Who could be guilted.<\/p>\n
Who hated conflict.<\/p>\n
Who wanted to help.<\/p>\n
We had mistaken prediction for closeness.<\/p>\n
Marcus ended with:<\/p>\n
I hope someday I learn people without learning how to use them.<\/p>\n
I folded the letter.<\/p>\n
No request.<\/p>\n
No apology at the end.<\/p>\n
He had already apologized.<\/p>\n
This was something else.<\/p>\n
Recognition.<\/p>\n
I placed the letter in the same drawer as the first.<\/p>\n
Then my phone rang.<\/p>\n
Mom.<\/p>\n
"I have something to tell you."<\/p>\n
Her voice sounded nervous.<\/p>\n
"What?"<\/p>\n
"Robert asked me to dinner."<\/p>\n
I smiled.<\/p>\n
"That's nice."<\/p>\n
"You don't sound shocked."<\/p>\n
"Should I?"<\/p>\n
"No."<\/p>\n
She laughed.<\/p>\n
Then:<\/p>\n
"I want to say yes."<\/p>\n
"Then say yes."<\/p>\n
"I did."<\/p>\n
"Okay."<\/p>\n
Mom became quiet.<\/p>\n
"I don't know what it means."<\/p>\n
"You don't have to."<\/p>\n
Another pause.<\/p>\n
"I hate this new family."<\/p>\n
I laughed.<\/p>\n
"Too many unanswered questions?"<\/p>\n
"Exactly."<\/p>\n
"Welcome."<\/p>\n
That Friday, Dad and Mom went to dinner.<\/p>\n
Separate cars.<\/p>\n
Separate homes afterward.<\/p>\n
No announcement.<\/p>\n
No decision.<\/p>\n
Just dinner.<\/p>\n
And somehow that felt more hopeful than any dramatic reconciliation could have.<\/p>\n
Marcus's first prison letter arrived six weeks after sentencing. Not to me. To Dad. Dad brought it over unopened. He stood in my kitchen holding the envelope between two fingers … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":20331,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insightdrama"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20363"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20398,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20363\/revisions\/20398"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/20331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insightdrama.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
