A:
It sounds like you are being harassed for taking FMLA leave and for having a condition that MAY qualify you under the ADA for protections. I say MAY, because certain drug addictions are not covered under the ADA. You need to contact a local attorney that deals with Employment Discrimination and the Physically Disabled.
