OP, he's giving you a way out of this horrible marriage--take it! I don't know how/why you got married to this person in the first place, but he's giving you an easy way out. Hold him to his promise, and enjoy your visit with your family. Frankly, he sounds a little mentally ill.
Also, it's a sign of an abuser if they cut their spouse off from visiting family. Does he try to isolate you in other ways? This "threat" of his is a great blessing. Take it and run with it!
I haven't seen him trying to isolate me completely yet but I'm already kind of isolated anyways because I work all day from 6 am to 4 pm, go home to cook, then study for my master's degree so I don't have much free time. But when we do go to my parents house (same area, 40 minutes away), he'll only want to stay about an hour each time then say something like "I need to go home because my stomachs upset and I need to use the bathroom." Every.single.time.
And he has made many comments about me having male friends (who I don't hang out with btw). He told me I was wrong to take a picture with my male coworker at a daytime work party so...

He's a nut case. OK, so you're in school, good for you! And you live close enough to your mom that it sounds like you could commute to work and school from her place, if you had to move back in with her, even though commuting might take some time out of your day. I would seriously consider that option, if I were you. Once you complete your MA program, you can get a better-paying job, and get your own place.
Good luck! It's a new year, OP. Time for a new life.
Just go! Don't think about him while you're gone, don't constantly check your phone, if he's gone when you get back pick out a couple of cats from the humane society.
He wont be gone though, he hopes you wont go- and if you do he wants you to have a rotten time. Why do you need him?
