The answer is sometimes yes. If your parent remarried after you were over the age of 18, the new step-parent would not qualify as a parent under FMLA. But a step-parent (or other guardian acting in loco parentis) who fulfilled the day-to-day responsibilities to provide care for and financially support you prior to the age of 18, would qualify.

An employer has the right to request documentation which verifies the marriage occured prior to the age of 18 or that the step parent has been acting "in loco parentis".
