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.
