Legal Question in Medical Leave in California

California Medical Leave Act

I was fired from my job of five years for a negative attitude while my aunt who helped raise me and who I lived with on and off during my childhood because my parents were unable to care for me was dying from cancer. Can she be considered locus parentis?
