Ghosting me while on maternity leave

I’ve worked at my current employer since August 2022 while I was pregnant. They’re a very small startup and didn’t have a maternity policy (they still don’t) after months of asking them I was finally told I could take 12 weeks unpaid and that I wouldn’t be protected under FMLA. I started my leave in March and expected to return in June. Per guidelines for leave of absence I emailed HR and my direct supervisor of my planner date to return and if there would be a possibility of part time, it’s been a week and zero response. I’ve followed up twice and cc’d upper management on the thread. I have a feeling they’re wanting me to resign on my own which I’m not going to do, outside of the discrimination that happened before my leave do I have any recourse if they completely ghost me out?
