Woman cuts ties with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law after grandma secretly adds peanuts to a pie to test her allergic 14-year-old’s “resilience,” resulting in an ER trip: ‘I was quick to grab the EpiPen. We were rushing to get Macy to the hospital’

  • "She didn't think Macy's allergy was that bad, she just needed to toughen up when it came to eating things she didn't like❞
  • Since getting married to my (35f) husband Zach (37) ten years ago have been very low contact with my MIL. We have never seen eye to eye and it's honestly better to stay away from her. My husband
  • and I have three kids together. Anya (9), Kenzie (5) and our ten month old. At the beginning of last year we were given full custody over my niece Macy (14) after her parents did in a very bad car a lent.
  • Macy is very allergic to peanuts. So Zach and I have taken this very seriously to the point where we don't allow any peanuts in our house. We have it banned from

  • our home to make sure there is no cross contamination when Macy goes to eat something. It is safer this way and it keeps Macy from having an allergic reaction.
  • On Sunday we had my MIL over and she brought this cream pie with her. I asked right away if there were any peanuts in it and she told me no. She told me that
  • it was just whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk with some vanilla because she knows that the kids love vanilla. I took her at her word because why
  • אן
  • would she lie about what was in the pie. Looking back I should have tasted it myself but I didn't want to cause a scene or fight with her.
  • Well after we had dinner my MIL cut all of us a slice of pie and started passing it out. Macy was the first to get hers and take a bite. She didn't get two bites in
  • before she started having an allergic reaction and saying that she couldn't breathe. I was quick to grab the EpiPen while Zach repeatedly asked his mother what was in the pie. She eventually gave in and told us that she put
  • finely chopped peanuts in the pie because she didn't think Macy's allergy was that bad and she just needed to toughen up when it came to eating things she didn't like.
  • I have to admit I saw red and just snapped at her. I screamed at her and called her an evil b for trying to poison my daughter. I continued that she could have k lled Macy if I wasn't around and
  • knew where the EpiPen was. She rolled her eyes and told me that I was overreacting and I shouldn't even care this much because Macy isn't actually my daughter. I didn't have time to say anything
  • back before Zach was screaming at her to get out and that she was no longer welcomed in our home or our lives. He told her that after
  • this he no longer wanted anything to do with her. She left in tears and called us horrible people for how we reacted.
  • We didn't respond as we were rushing to get Macy to the hospital to make sure that she was ok. Everything came back fine but she spent the night in bed recovery after the whole ordeal had happened. As I laid with her
  • in bed I completely blocked my MIL on everything so that she could no longer contact me. I was still so angry at her for what she did that I decided to go full no contact with her because I can't trust her. I feel extremely guilty
  • for letting her into my home and letting her harm my child. I should have been more careful but I didn't think she would ever do something like this. I really didn't.
  • Yesterday I got a call from my SIL Jillian calling me the ah le for how I reacted to MIL. She told me that I was "immature" for blocking her and making Zach go no contact with his own mother. I
  • told her straight up that I didn't make Zach do anything, it was because of her actions that Zach no longer wanted anything to do with her. She caused all of this by trying to poison my child! Jillian
  • said the same thing as MIL about Macy not actually being my daughter so I hung up on her. I told my husband all of this and said that I'm going no contact with Jillian after what she said. He
  • was completely on my side but a few friends and family members are telling me that I have taken this all too far. So AITAH for going no contact with my SIL & MIL?
