Why are you taking responsibility for other people's emotions or behaviors?
Example:
Quote:
|
Did I bring shame to my family?

or
Quote:

Am I just a major disappointment?

Your husband is a grown man, why would he start fights with you, ask you to speak to your sister (with whom HE has a fight), and emotionally blackmail you to stop seeing your family. He is making a mountain out of nothing.
Worse, you are internalizing these messages thinking that YOU are the problem. From what you write, HE is the problem. You are allowed to see your family and have a relationship with them. "Prioritizing" your marriage does not mean losing your family because harsh words were spoken and your husband's ego was too fragile to take it.
Your husband should put on his big boy pants and stop his histrionics or trying to control you. That is very immature of him.
