Husband reports he is on the equivalent of "double secret probation" at work. It is in response to some days he took this summer to care for me. I guess I would describe them as "mental health days" for him. Caring for someone in a bipolar manic episode is extremely difficult -- I'm surprised he has weathered this past 12 years.
What gripes my butt is he brought a work computer home to do his job while he was here. He's not ripping off the company. I think he did the right thing, but I admit I don't know all the procedures involved with Family Medical Lead Act cases and how they apply to his particular company.
Now, I'm like the mother lion and her cubs, and in my eyes he can do no wrong. There may indeed be some things about his situation that I don't know. But I'm pretty damn sure we can connect those days he took off to my illness. No doubt about it.
I am feeling this very strong urge to call up his boss and get a full explanation of what is happening to him at work. Husband would be furious, of course, but I want to what is happening. He doesn't provide me with the specifics. I'm very angry.
Everyone talks about how great FMLA is but from what I'm seeing it isn't working at all. If my husband loses his job over it watch out. There's going to be some serious heat in the kitchen.
