In Massachusetts, if I already have FMLA for a seriously ill spouse, and now I need FMLA because I have been diagnosed with a serious illness myself and must take treatments, is it legal for the employer to combine the FMLA for TWO seperate patients? Also

I am actually asking for my husband. I am fully disabled with Multiple sclerosis and another serious illness called Churg Strauss Syndrome...and some really horrible side effects because of treatment and the disease...and it differs day to day. My husband's manager has made several blatant threats against his job for missing work-which he then works overtime to make up for. And now he has to take a chemotherapy agent as well for a chronic autoimmune illness and he applied for FMLA to cover himself when he has infusions and appointments as well. So his company has also combined his FMLA time with mine, It is becoming increasingly stressful because this manager just thinks my husband is getting some kind of special treatment due to theFMLA and keeps threatening him. Poir man has been driven to absolute tears He has been a good and loyal employee of this company for ten years- not that that apparently even matters in the world we live in, I cannot bear to watch this beautiful man suffer who is just doing the best he can for his company and for his spouse and now for himself. Thank you.
