I think she's upset...

We met my sister and her husband in NY where he ran in the marathon. My sister was so verbally abusive to him and was just 100% frustrated if he asked the slightest question. He doesn't understand everything said as he French.
I finally said something to her about how mean she was to him and even my husband thought so too. She was shocked and told me the next day that she thought about it all night and it bothered her. I told her to not let it bother her but maybe, work on it.
I haven't heard from her since and I know she's been online because she's updated her blog.
I heard her husband say a few times, "Oh please don't get mad at me again." It made me sad.
Maybe I shouldn't have said anything but in truth, it was kind of ruining our trip too. We were there to have fun, not have her act like our dad always did. Oh my word, she has become our dad with a scowl on her face, arms crossed at the chest, glaring. That's just too sad.
Do you think I should have kept quiet?

It was wonderful watching the runners although some of them were puking at the end. Tough race.
I might just wait it out a little longer. We're going to AZ on Saturday so I might email her when we return.
I believe that if I was acting that horrible, I'd want someone, especially her, to point it out. On the other side of this, she has never, not once, defended me to our parents. Not once and even when she caused a problem. I actually stopped talking to her for a year because she refused to call them and tell them the truth, that she was the instigator so, I don't know that she feels so close to me.
There have been times that I lied and said I had a headache and was going to go back to the hotel and lie down because she was acting so ugly and mad. And, she spewed venom all over me because I couldn't get them an invitation to this private party we were going to. The next morning, she went off on me again. When we got home I sat down and cried because I was seriously thinking of ending our relationship, it was that bad.

Hi, Dianne: I'd have done the same thing if anyone in my company acted in the manner your sister did. Domestic strife really ought to be kept private regardless of the triggers which bring it about. But, what's done is done. Have you managed to contact your sister since? Perhaps, if you made the first move to reach out then you'd be in a better position to know how she has been since NYC without mentioning anything about the awkward situation that took place. Just say hello and as it is nearly Christmas, there would be other things to talk about. A good time as any for a phone call or an e-mail.

My husband very rarely says anything negative about anyone but he doesn't care for my sister at all. He's very supportive on this.
She used to play into this role that had been set up by my parents such as, saying things like--Dianne finally found someone who would put up with her. I really blasted her when I heard her saying this to our aunt on the phone while she was visiting me. I almost drove her to the airport so she could go back home.
She says, "Dianne was the one born with looks, I was the one born with brains." How can you be jealous of your own sister? Your only sister? I love her dearly but the older she gets, the angrier she becomes.
They are still traveling and should arrive back in Paris today. But she's always called me while she's been in the states. I don't know. I guess I don't care if she's upset with me because she really was acting horribly. I don't want to see my sister spend her remaining years on earth being so angry.
