We’re vegan in our house.
It turns out my stepdaughter gave him the cake on purpose to
“teach us a lesson.”
I searched for her, but she was already gone.
Thankfully, I gave my son an EpiPen,
and he began to recover after a few hours.
I told my husband I never want to see his daughter again.
He insists she’s just a teenager who didn’t understand the seriousness of her actions.
He says he’s spoken to her and wants me to forgive her,
but I can’t bring myself to do it.
At 2 a.m., I woke up and noticed my husband wasn’t in bed.
Then I heard a scream.
It was him screaming from our 7-year-old son’s room.
I ran there and froze when I found my child on the floor, covered in chocolate.
He looked sick and very pale.
Beside him was a large chocolate cake with peanuts.
He’s severely allergic to peanuts, and we’re always careful to keep them out of the house.
