Poisoned for Clout: My Mother's 15-Year Lie

Growing up, I always thought I was a broken piece of trash who couldn’t enjoy the "good things" in life.

Seafood sent me into anaphylactic shock. Beef gave me severe rashes.

Whenever I got greedy and sneaked a bite of the premium ingredients on my brother Marcus's plate, my mother would look as if she were facing a mortal enemy and force a bowl of "desensitization medicine" down my throat.

After drinking it, I would inevitably vomit and suffer from violent diarrhea, ending up bedridden for two whole days.

I was filled with tearful gratitude, genuinely believing she was saving my life.
