 In an ideal world:
Before your married your parents are your most important sounding board.
Once your married your spouse's happiness is your number one concern, when you have children then it is those parents' life.
As for your siblings, well they are your forever friends, be true, be helpful and love them.
In an un-Ideal world:
Your parents gave you life, you have the responsibility to honor them by being the best you can be in spite of them!
With your spouse, if promises are broken, commitments forgotten. Then you have a hard choice. If children are involved then your choice should be for them. (And in abusive cases it is never better for the children to stay in that situation).
Your siblings saw and probably went through the same as you and can lend that loving ear and shoulder to cry on. They can also offer that safe haven until you get back on your feet. If they didn't go through the same and have no sympathy go to friends.
All fails you get counseling!

What is making you ask this question, is someone pressuring you into doing something? Sounds like you need a long hard think about things, but remember on top of everything else, you should be your primary concern and your happiness should come first.

 Cannot answer this as to me all are important in different ways they are out support network and each has a role to play in our lives.
As long as one does not try to controle your life as it is your life and no one elses then you should not try to divide them up into most important, your children are under your protection so are closesed to you, your parents gave you life, love and wisdom, and your partner shares your life in an intimate and loving way and is maybe father to your children.
