Any advice would be helpful - my sister is in an abusive violent relationship. She says that she wants "out" of this relationship - several times she has called on myself and family members for help - only she constantly goes back to the situation. We had a long talk last week - I stressed that I want to help her - I wanted her to stay with me and my husband - so that she can get away from the violence - she told me that he made a threat that "if she left him he would kill her, hunt down her parents and kill them, and kill her son" She was crying on the phone to me - he was not home - I told her I would pick her up in the morning - she said she wanted to stay with me - the next day she calls me saying she's going to Florida for the week - and to pick her up on Friday - well, Friday comes and she gave me an excuse - every day there's a new excuse for her not to leave that house!!! It's like she wants help but doesn't want it - I think that he has her so scared that she can't think straight. Is there anything that a family member can do to intervene? Do we have any legal right to call the police on this guy? We have no proof, but we have seen bruises on her - and we get the constant phone calls but yet she still won't leave that house - she said that she's trying to get him evicted - I told her to saty with me until he is evicted but she won't leave. Please help - any advice would be great - It's such a long story, I can go on for hours with this - any advice would be great I want to help my sister - I'm afraid she's going to get badly badly hurt and maybe even be murdered.
