Assuming that your employer is in fact covered by FMLA (FMLA only applies to businesses with at least 50 employees located within a 75-mile radius) and that you are eligible for FMLA (been there at least a year; worked 1,250 hours in the past year), then it would be illegal to retaliate against you (e.g. harass you) for using FMLA; you have been given the right to leave under federal law. You could contact the department of labor, which enforces the rules in relation to FMLA, to file a retaliation complaint: she may be required to stop doing this, or in some cases, you might be entitled to compensation.
