[quote=Anonymous]I have an Autistic teen home for the summer who is having increased anxiety and is very needy (but otherwise pretty independent), and has frequent appointments - therapy, specialists, etc. DH just had to have emergency eye surgery and has to lie flat for 3 days and then won’t be able to see for 4-6 weeks out of one eye. He does most of the driving, and while he will be able to drive (hopefully) I want it to be limited.

I have a crushingly stressful job but work remotely. But I can’t handle all of this caretaking while also managing my work and constant urgent calls etc. so I’m going to request FMLA to use leave as needed.

The question is whose serious health condition is this attributable to? Do I have my kids therapist attest to all of this? My inability to work is not entirely attributable to either my husbands condition or my kids. It’s both.

I do also have an anxiety disorder (which I’m sure contributes) but I’ve never needed an accommodation for it and I work directly with the person who processes FMLA requests. I don’t want to disclose this to her. [/quote]
