I'm sorry. That does suck. Both your father and your husband are adults. You do not have to be in the middle or make them like each other. Have you brought this up in therapy? I have a feeling that there is so much more here than meets the eye. What is healthy response for you that you can live with might be a good place to start, i guess, depending on your therapy style. You are entitled to the right to take care of yourself and your needs.
Your husband does not have the right to grab your hair and shake your head - you are a wonderful person, not his slave or his puppet. Anger is not an excuse. You probably are already aware of this, but you may feel truly stuck or may feel that the problem is not that big of a deal. OK, it's your life and only you know the facts and can make the right decisions for you. BUT if you ever do need help, please don't ever feel bad doing whatever you need to do.
