Flashbacks

My sis called me at about 1 am to ask me if she could come over. I told her that would be fine. She called back about a half and hour later and asked me if I could come to pick her up. I was a little annoyed. I was told that she and her bf act a fool in public--arguing and cussing each other out, embarrassing each other. Some people think that's cute, but I find it repulsive. Why air your dirty laundry in public. It made me embarrassed to be her sister when I was told that. So, here she is calling me and that only thing I can think of is they were arguing and she needs to get away.
I get to her house and I call her. She tells me that her bf has her pinned down. I jump out the car while calling the police and get to the door and it's hard to open. I open it and they are cussing each other out and he's trying to tell me that he hasn't put a hand on her and I'm trying to tell the police lady the address while getting my sis out the house. I don't know why, but I didn't notice the huge knife in her hand until she started going to get her clothes from the bedroom. Initially I didnt want the police to know that she had a knife, but I started getting made because she wasn't trying to leave and she kept trying to throw stuff at him.
I finally get her out the house and she's mad at me for calling the police. I tell her that she's not leaving the car, which is in my name at that house. So he gives her all the keys and tells her to leave. As were are leaving the police pull up and I'm trying to tell the police what happened. She pulls up and is trying to tell the police that nothing happened. The police are trying to get her to shut up to get the story from me and she's steady tryign to say that they don't need to be there.
Finally, they talk to her and she tells them nothing. So now I'm pissed. I out of bed at 2 am and I got to get up at 5:30 and you telling me that it wasn't necessary to call the police when you tell me that a big 6ft tall man, weighing over 200lbs has you pinned down and you can't go anywhere. WTF? Are you nuts. I asked her if she was doing drugs or something. So I leave thinking she's behind me. I go back to her house and she's there with him. I ask her to come outside and she tells me that she lied about him pinning her down cause she was made. HUNH? WHAT? There are men killing women in a rage because they snapped and you telling me you lied. This chick is crazy. I told her that I had a friend whose husband choked her in a rage. They had been married for over 5 years and he got so angry with her that he choked her. I have a friend whose bf blackend her eye and she still went back to him. There are people who snap when they are arguing. Don't you watch Lifetime and Oxygen?
I proceeded to tell my baby sis that this situation reminded me of when I was in the 4th grade and had to call the police on my stepfather because he and my mom were aruging in the kitchen and they were breaking things and she was yelling at him and he was yelling at her and I guess he physically did something to her because she got the hammer and screamed for me to call 911. I was scared to death. He ran to my room and snatched the phone from me and she was running right behind him with a hammer in her hand. He ran out the door. She got on the phone and told the police that it was nothing. She allowed him to come back. That wasn't the only time the police was called to our house. But I told my sis that this situation made me have flashbacks and it reminded me that my mother spent 20 years with a man that she was miserable with. The good didn't outweight the bad. They were never meant to marry each other and if she wanted a happy healthy life, she needed to get it together and not spend time with someone who was gonna make her life a living hell.
I hope she listened. Life is way too short to live it in an abusive relationship.
