I feel for you Sheri! My mom is notorious for poisoning my food with something I can't have, and then she'll turn around and deny it. Or I'll ask if there's any milk or butter in the dessert, and only when I get sick afterwards, she's like, "well there was only a LITTLE bit. I thought that'd be ok...!" UGH.
This one time I asked her for quaker oats maple and brown sugar oatmeal, one of the only things I could have. She boilled that 1 hour prep oatmeal jjunk out of a big vat, and doused it with milk and then put (i kid you not) Aunt Jemima's maple pancake syrup in it, stirred it all up like it was nothing and gave it to me. Well, I was so sickened from the first bite I didn't finish it, and lucky that cos I was so sick afterward. When I confronted her (I found the vat of oats in the kitchen, lid off) she DENIED it, saying I was sick and things taste differently when you're sick.
I have faced this with her my WHOLE LIFE. I bring this up now, and she says she has forgotten but doesn't think I'm telling the truth. UGH!
Sorry for the rant... I'd get over this already if #1 she'd acknowledge her lies and #2 it didn't keep happening!!!
