Man Cuts Off His Parents After Learning They Lied to Him About His Allergies His Entire Life

One of the most hurtful things that can happen in life is to be lied to. Discovering that you've been deceived by someone close to you is inevitably even more painful.

Sometimes, the only option left when someone has deeply hurt you is to cut them off. But what if that person, or those people, are part of your family?

This is the exact dilemma this young man faced before deciding to cut his parents out of his life entirely. Naturally, it wasn't an easy decision to make, and he found himself second-guessing afterward.

He had spent his entire life following a strict diet and carrying an EpiPen with him wherever he went. His parents had led him to believe that he had severe allergies; however, as he discovered, that wasn't the case.

The man shared his story on Reddit under the AITA (Am I The A**hole?) subreddit. Scroll down to read what happened.

The man explained that since he was a child, his parents had told him he was allergic to dairy, gluten, and legumes.

He never questioned his allergies until one day when he accidentally ate a brownie containing flour and... nothing happened.

His mother tried to brush it off, but he decided to get an allergy test done, which revealed that he, in fact, had no intolerances to any foods.

Understandably, the man was furious. His mother admitted that she had lied to him and attempted to justify her actions.
