i work for a large company and we are aloud the FML (family medical leave act)...where you are allowed 12 weeks leave (paid or unpaid) leave for yourself or immediate family member for emergency leave. and promised that you will not loose your job. i guess maybe it depends where you live. but i'd check into this. you may not get paid for your leave but it can guarantee that you wont get fired. also if you fill out forms for the FML and it shows that you have a disability you may be covered by the ADA (american's with disabilities act).
HOWEVER, this all depends on how much you trust your boss as well. and what kind of job you have.best wishes to you...
it worked out for me to use this, i hope the same for you.
please take care of yourself.
